I once heard that the pigeons that plague big Eastern US cities were
brought over by Frenchmen who wanted pigeon breast eats. We have
those same pigeons out here in the CO Rockies, but they are not in
huge clowds. Usually jes a pair, much like doves, which we also have
a lot of. Unfortunately, the owner's assoc, much like any HOA,
disapproves of killing the local fauna. IOW, lotta bunnies, pigeons,
and doves, but we can't harvest 'em. Besides, it'd be particularly
hard to explain at our Thur pot-luck.
