Heh heh. Sorry, I didn't mean to offend. They have had (and still have) their uses. Carrying messages during times of war was a pretty important job. Oh, and I understand that they're even viewed as a delicasy in Britain, and I even saw Jamie Oliver do a show on its inclusion in a number of dishes, along with several other game birds.
However...hear in North America they are viewed as filthy creatures, for the most part. If pigeons sense that you're a apathetic home owner, hundreds of them will camp out on your roof and crap all over the place. They make a mess of the streets and are always in the way of pedestrians and vehicle traffic, since they've grown not to fear us. Well, I don't subscribe to George Costanza's notion of "the deal," and when they get too close to me, I'll give 'em a kick. If enough people started doing that, we'd learn 'em some respect, I tells ya!
