It’s a complicated history that humans have with pigeons. In my daily life in Chicago I am constantly surrounded by them. They are all over and are incredibly comfortable with us, perhaps too comfortable. (quick coo?) This may stem back to the days in which pigeons were used as messengers and letters would be tied to their legs and they would fly off to deliver them. But the pigeons of the 21st century are vastly different from the pigeons our ancestors used to deliver messages domestically and in times of war dating back at least 2,000 years.
