I just realized what you said and recognized my similar behavior. I feed the pigeons along with the duck and swan (and whatever other fowl is around) when visiting areas such as the park or park-like area. This leads me to the belief and realization that the urban pigeon population might be slightly more "appreciated" in comparison to their suburban counterparts.

Whereas urban dwellers will take to feeding and throwing breadcrumbs, suburbanites will shoot them and use them as target practice! LOL! I guess in some way, pigeons are an urban fixture as they inhabit almost every urban place on the planet. Ever been to Europe or NYC??? Then you know what I mean. Hopefully I didn't offend anyone with this post and come off as argumentative...
LOL i know what you mean. I dont know where they think the pigeons are suppose to go? they kinda come with the territory.

I hate even using the word to describe people unless absolutely necessary. However, I don't have a problem pointing out when someone comes close to that line. Take for instance, you. Because you happen to disagree with points of views on this forum, most notably mine, you resort to name calling, self-appointed judge and jury, and an ego-centric "voice of reason."

Now, I don't deny being a pro-Phoenix poster. Is there a problem with this? In the sea of anti-Phoenix and Phoenix bashing attitudes, I don't mind posting comments that are sure to hit the core of some of the anti-Phoenix sentiments which usually result in a "heated" rebuttal or name calling. But that's what this forum is for (minus the name calling). We put out our opinions and if a debate and conversation ensue then, long live a healthy discussion. However, many times those that choose to argue with me become frustrated and can't defend their stances; consequently, leading to them calling me names and taking the thread of topic. Hmmmm, kind of like your posts. I apologize to everyone for yet again "hijacking" another thread to clear my name. Thank you for your time!
LOL...some people are so stuck, not sure why, but I am like you (FC80)and choose to bring the subject up that comes to mind...I don't believe what I'm seeing here with 'strict' regulations...now in Alaska, we go A-WOL on a regular basis and not too many complain...we are friends and just go for it...we go with the flow...and most new comers get it and feel welcome because of that...straying and arguing is not trolling.
this is going to be my new home and life is too short, I would like to have some fun...FC80 has been here a while, ... there are others I've see that are questionable, but...maybe playing a little bit brings more traffic and more fun...I am totally twitching on these critter threads, even though I know they are there....

I do have to agree the pigeon problem is out of control. the past couple years they keep making a nest on the lege over the garage. No matter how many times I get rid of them they come back. I gets effin annoying.

Get BugBusters or a similar company to come and put the spiky stuff that keeps them from nesting/resting/roosting. I have two big pillars in my entry that used to attract them-- they put the spikes up there, and painted them to match the pillars. Only the pigeons, and I, know they are there.

And in Chandler. It's getting worse. I actually found this forum googling for "Phoenix AZ pigeon pandemic". I don't know what to do about it. I might try the CDs. Ug.

Then you see them sitting on the spikes. It's pointless. We will all drown in pigeon crap.

Try the CD's, Bendib.

The Pigeons down quickly befriended the fake Owl and simply learned to step over the spike things but, so far, have yet to figure out the CD's are harmless. Two plus years and not one single Pigeon Poop . . . KNOCK ON WOOD!

Maybe they all relocated to Chandler.

Good Luck
