    Heh. In my city there is a spot I regularly pass that is bird seeded and swarmed by pigeons.

    Thought it was a sweet old lady doing it until I saw a couple guys pull up in a van and start grabbing them up.

      Some of the homeless in Seattle do that, one of my ex partners used to when they were homeless too. Sometimes you do what you gotta do and pigeons is cheap calories

        Pigeons are just doves, which are game birds. As long as you clean them properly, they should be fine to eat.
