I have long-since learned to stop assuming that pigeons are boring pests. Just because the ones I've been most aware of are the noisy, gray, French fry-stealing North American type, it doesn't mean they are all a pain in the butt.
Nor does it mean that all of them are gray and dull. Considering that there are 344 distinct species in the pigeon/dove family, variety is the name of the game.
