#simply because the speckled pigeons are the ones I see almost every day and who live around our balcony roof and chimney

It's so weird seeing posts on here going "Pigeons are feral because they're actually domesticated! :D"

And my African ass is sitting here like

"n ....no ... ...no those guys on my balcony are DEFINITELY native to this environment...."

(the environment: cliffs and rocky outcroppings as well as open caves facing the ocean)

Also they look like this

when posts say "Pigeon" this is automatically what I imagine and I sit there confused for a second or two when they start talking about domestication and how "pigeons are feral because we domesticated them and actually should be considered a domesticated animal just like cats and dogs".
