No. They are so dumb, they literally lost all self preservation instincts.

They were basically pets released into the wild, ofc they lost their self preservation instincts.

This one is a wood pigeon, which is a wild species (not feral pigeon, which is descended from wild rock doves). They are naturally not the brightest bulbs without any human influence.

They used to nest outside my window and wake me up by flapping around and cooing at all hours as the male tried to impress the female lol.
