Around here it's Pigeons, but they seem to occupy the same niche as these Crows. Part of the problem is that not only are they good scavengers, but some people actively feed them causing not only a huge mess (piles of rotting bread dumped on the pavements), but it encourages the birds to congregate and multiply.

- Reason077 8y agoNorth America once had a native pigeon, with an estimated population of 3-5 billion. They were driven to extinction due to hunting and habitat loss. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Passenger_pigeon https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Passenger_pigeon
- emodendroket 8y agoRight. But usually pigeon means rock dove.
