Feral Pigeon (Columba Livia)
This is the number one urban pest bird, with large numbers found in every city across our nation. These birds are descendants of domestic homing pigeons brought to the United States from Europe during the 1600s. They are not afraid of people; roosting and nesting readily in man-made structures, along with a diverse diet. They have short legs with a level front and hind toes that allow them to perch on branches as well as walk on flat surfaces.
