I was told, don't feed the pigeons, they were right.
I've been feeding feral pigeons for 8 months now, from last year's fall, until very recently. I fed them everyday, multiple times a day during the winter, and now they've reproduced and have become the nuisance that everyone says they are.
I stopped feeding them but breaking them of their dependency has been difficult, even after being aggressive toward them and spraying them with water, they show up everyday at 5:30 a.m. and they just camp out. They don't leave, they coo, they shit, and they're causing property damage. They're pecking everything, mortar, window frames, you name it.
If you feed feral pigeons be careful. Don't feed them in your residential areas, or if you do, do it few and far between. Pigeons can easily become dependent, especially if you feed them premium seeds and grains.
