40 Unexpected “Pigeons” Around The World
We often see groups of pigeons flocking together in various spots that they’ve demarcated for themselves as their territory in cities, parks and other places where humans gather. However, it’s not only groups of pigeons that like to be in close proximity to humans apparently as this collection of pics will show.
Turns out that many birds and even animals such as foxes, moose and others tend to congregate near people possibly in the hopes of landing a lucky crumb or two. Regardless, we’re glad that those who spotted these gatherings chose to capture the adorable moments and share them with us as it’s just too wholesome to miss out on.

Shanilou has always loved reading and learning about the world we live in. While she enjoys fictional books and stories just as much, since childhood she was especially fascinated by encyclopaedias and strangely enough, self-help books. As a kid, she spent most of her time consuming as much knowledge as she could get her hands on and could always be found at the library. Now, she still enjoys finding out about all the amazing things that surround us in our day-to-day lives and is blessed to be able to write about them to share with the whole world as a profession.
