Pigeons are pretty good birds.

Love the cooing sound they make.

Yes! Pigeons are my most favorite bird, sadly they face a lot of undeserved prejudice. People associate them with the city so I believe that is why most people dismiss them as being like a rat, but they are very graceful and beautiful creatures and there are so many different kinds of pigeon from the classic and very stylish rock dove to the cultured wood pigeon of Europe, if you prefer smaller pigeons you can not go wrong with a ground dove. Pigeons have the wardrobe for almost every occasion from the simple and refined to the gaudy and flamboyant. :bigtran:

Probably, since a ditch with a tuft of cat tails growing in it is "prime red-winged blackbird habitat." They're apparently the most numerous bird on the continent, and I love them.

Since this thread started strong with grackles and red-winged blackbirds, have a bunch of icterid flags I made because I'm addicted to designing flags:







I wasn't happy with my first attempt at a meadowlark flag, so I redesigned it with a pall and that looked so good I decided icterid flags should all have palls.

I do not think that black works well with flags, you should try to create flags with more primary colors, I think it would fit the geometric shapes better. Otherwise they are not bad look for a flag. Have you seen the flags for the Japanese prefectures? I think you would appreciate them. :)

I went to New Jersey recently and saw a pigeon just chilling, not bothered by people walking by like a foot away from it, which I thought was cool so I started walking toward it. Like 10 people immediately screamed at me to get away from it because it was a dirty pigeon. :confused: It's just a loving bird, guys! Folks in my area don't exactly LIKE them, but these people reacted as if I had tried to lick a cockroach.

It is so strange, pigeons love to keep themselves clean with baths and showers and abhor dirt and grime. I think that you are more likely to get sick from other people than from a pigeon.

On Twitter there is large community of pigeon fanatics, I would link to you the Twitter page but from my phone it's much more difficult so I will link some of the tweets and you can go to their profile from there. I only use Twitter now to just look at people's birds they own or see, here take a look!!!
