LOL! Good one TPC! Still giggling from this statement!!!   ;D

On the same note, whatever Cade had for breakfast on the ledge this morning sure looked pretty big in size!  Guess Ivy got tired of bringing home slurpees... ;D

Ah, great information, thanks. I had always thought that pigeons were their preferred species, I guess because when I was in Vancouver I had an office in Granville Square and we had peregrines on the building. The only birds I saw them eat were pigeons. They actually brought a few of them to the ledge outside my office window.

Thanks for the quick replies.

I started a new thread under Manitoba Peregrines, Other Raptor/Birding Stuff. I hope that is the right place to put it. I asked the question, "Are pigeons becoming endangered" and would enjoy a discussion on the topic. I invite all of you who have been around much longer than I and who know much, much more on the subject to join in with your comments.

Perhaps this topic has been discussed before. If so please point me to the thread.

Thanks.

Wow, the efficient folks around here already found the thread and answered my questions. Thanks for that.

Here in Toronto, they've found new places to nest.  Our buildings are mostly glass and steel and concrete where I work and the pigeons nest in the under ground parking garages underground!  Then they fly out following the cars and sit outside on the hydro wires and any lower rooftops they find or up high on top of the towers.

They also nest on people's balconies and in planters too!

I suspect they just find new places and adjust - kind of like the pefa did with all the cliffs eroding and deteriorating..now a high rise is a cliff replacement.

ps: I've read that pigeons reproduce 6 times a year!!
