yes.. there's plenty of food for lots of them.. .. speaking of feeding the pigeons... we have also ring necked doves... but they don't eat them much.. here as shooting is frownd upon here.. and lots of folks keep coops of racing... [ Homeing ] pigeons on the roofs and back yards... aa guy down in the middle of the block here and 60 or so he released a few times a day to get out and fly about... building racing strengtth .. and magnetic fixes on the location..
Years ago.. I was a pigeon feeder... when I was in Boston for college and after I went to the big downtown gardens with a bag of cracked corn and made large designs on the lawns... these would instantly fill in with pigeons eating... turning the hillside in to living art... I'd done one design over part of a sidewalk.. and this guy came scuffling through scattering them about... and then went into a phone booth... so I sprinkled the corn all around the phone booth.. and the pigeons filled it in and soon there were legions of pigeons surrounding him.. 30 -40 pigeons deep .. more like living theatre then..
