For millennia they were beloved pets and messengers. We bred independence out of them and doted upon them. Then we invented the telephone and cast them all out into the wild en masse. It’s amazing they’ve survived this well.

They are as we made them, and as we rejected them.

  Kinda, not really. In the wild, pigeons build their nests on cliffs, so they really only need just enough nest to keep the eggs from rolling off. That’s why they make dopey lil stick piles instead of proper bowl-shaped nests
