A pigeon is a type of bird that lives in cities and towns.
Pigeons are often seen flying or walking around buildings, especially in places with lots of people like parks or street markets. You might even see them eating crumbs from the ground or scraps left behind by food vendors. Some cities consider pigeons to be pests because they can leave droppings on statues or building facades, but others think they're cute and interesting birds that add character to urban areas.
