Ok, Ive see a lot of signs that say, "Beware of Dog." But never have I seen one that says "Beware of Bird/" According to Joey Schmitts at the Balderdash Apartments in Louisville, KY, one of the residents trained a wild pigeon to guard the doorway to the upstairs apartments. I thought it was a joke at first, but when we tested it with my Nephew, we learned it was the truth. This bird was incredible aggressive and would not give up. Now, I understand this is not going to stop someone who is serious about gaining entry but I'm sure there was more than one solicitor who decided to turn back after tangling with big bertha.
Pigeons and doves constitute the bird clade Columbidae, that includes about 310 species. They are stout-bodied birds with short necks, and have short, slender bills with fleshy ceres. Doves feed on seeds, fruits, and plants. This family occurs worldwide, but the greatest variety is in the Indomalaya and Australasia ecozones.
In general, the terms "dove" and "pigeon" are used somewhat interchangeably. Pigeon derives from the Latin pipio, for a "peeping" chick,[1] while dove is a Germanic word that refers to the bird's diving flight.[2] In ornithological practice, "dove" tends to be used for smaller species and "pigeon" for larger ones, but this is in no way consistently applied, and historically, the common names for these birds involve a great deal of variation between the terms. The species most commonly referred to as "pigeon" is the Feral Rock Pigeon, common in many cities.
Doves and pigeons build relatively flimsy nests from sticks and other debris, which may be placed in trees, on ledges, or on the ground, depending on species. They lay one or two eggs, and both parents care for the young, which leave the nest after seven to 28 days.[3] Unlike most birds, both sexes of doves and pigeons produce "crop milk" to feed to their young, secreted by a sloughing of fluid-filled cells from the lining of the crop. Young doves and pigeons are called "squabs”.
