Lindsay has this to say:

“I think pigeons are pretty neat. They’re loving partners who mate for life, raising their chicks together and feeding them in a rather unique way. They have amazing abilities that we humans haven’t quite figured out yet, such as their homing sense that always leads them back to their nest. This skill has saved human lives many times over the years. They’ve managed to thrive in our cities and towns despite our best efforts to deter them. Even here in Penticton you can see them nesting atop bird spikes that are meant to keep them away. They also poop a lot. Everywhere. And that can be a problem.

Please join me as I discuss the ins and outs of domestic and feral pigeons, from their origins as revered symbols of peace and prosperity to today, where they are commonly and contemptuously referred to as ‘flying rats.’"
