I quite like pigeons
Their cockiness, their drabness, their 'Northerness', their ability to construct flimsy nests from sticks and other debris and the fact that unlike most other birds, pigeons produce "crop milk", which is secreted by a sloughing of fluid-filled cells from the lining of the crop. Both sexes produce this highly nutritious substance to feed to the young.
Pigeon milk - Now that's fancy!
