Pigeon

Lovey Dovey!

Naturally I’ll live for around 10 years
(eldest recorded is in their thirties)

My fave foods: peanuts and sunflower hearts

I’m descended from 🕊️ Rock Doves, so I like to be on buildings as they’re similar to the cliffs that my ancestors used to make their homes

I can recognise myself 🪞 and I can recognise letters of the alphabet

I have a built-in compass and I’m great at finding my way 🏡 home

I can hear distant storms ⛈️ way before people can

I’ll stay with my chosen partner for life 💍🥰

We get bad press – we’re said to be dirty and disease-ridden, but actually we’re very clean. You can download a fact sheet here: animalaid.org.uk
