So next time you see one cooing on a traffic light, give it a nod. It’s just a little dinosaur, living out its cliff-dwelling dreams, one skyscraper ledge at a time.
If you live in a city, you’ve seen them strutting down sidewalks, bobbing their heads, and cooing from ledges. But have you ever stopped mid-bite of your sandwich to ask: Where do these birds actually sleep?
Now, replace "sea cliff" with "skyscraper."
These are the ultimate pigeon condos. The steel girders underneath bridges mimic rock crevices perfectly. They provide 360-degree protection from rain and hawks. That’s why you always see flocks under the freeway.
Erica has wanted to be a travel writer since college and now as a mom of two, she's finally pursuing that dream. She takes pride in researching the best trip information and test driving the recommendations you'll find on this site. When she's not immersed in travel research you can find her with her kids or attempting to learn tennis (advice accepted!).
