Why are pigeons so friendly to human being

Well maybe because you see lots and lots of them mingling with people without even getting intimidated. They'd come close to tourists in plazas and parks and would love eating on the food offered to them. But that does make them really friendly creatures? Are they really friendly. I don't think so. I keep pigeons at home and some of them would even bite my hands whenever I give them grains. I don't think that makes them friendly indeed. Don't ever, ever bite the hands that feed you, they must understand that!

I have also noticed that many birds fly away when people come close, but not pigeons. They see a person and they just walk by. I think this is because in history, pigeons have been used by people as mail messengers to deliver mail. Because of this, many pigeons were tamed and therefore, that's how pigeon and human interaction became. This is just my opinion so I could be wrong. Have you noticed after a species of animals has been tamed by man or live in the same civilization, they sort of get used to people after time?

well that is what people think that pigeons are very comfortable with humans . but that is not so in reality. actually pigeons are the most greedy birds out of all the species. they love to eat and are very greedy in this regard. when they find that so much amount of grain is there on the road to feed on, they are not able to resist their temptations and start eating. even if there is a big crowd nearby, they wouldn't budge an inch from where they are. otherwise all birds are scared of humans.
