Also wouldn't that mean that pigeons wouldn't be trainable with treats?

I have a friend who trains WILD pigeons with food, so... doubt

A fun anecdotal story is my partner knew someone who worked at a prison in Ireland. Apparently someone was visiting, and saw a pigeon with a little package of coke attached the the leg. They pointed it out to the guard who responded "not worth the paperwork" 😆
