I am in Las Vegas on vacation. I saw many feral pigeons. Many. Probably the most interesting thing I saw, despite all the many sights. (Only one ash red bar though, but I was absolutely ecstatic when I saw it) the T check has a limp. One that I took a lot of pictures of one with FEATHERED FEET. The feather foot one has friends too but I was too busy snapping pics of it I didn’t get to them.
Also I saw my first CACKLING GOOSE
I think??? Here it is with its big friend.
i wanna call that one pigeon Boots.
I saw another pigeon puffing up his crop to show off to another.
oh here’s another of Boots.
There were also a ton of grackles, and a “Don’t feed the birds” sign.
Sorry Boots!

Cool! I actually thought of the idea of pigeons gangs while theorizing about how pigeons lost their toes.

“AGONISTIC BEHAVIOR
Physical interactions. Inter- and intraspecific
intruders chased, both in air and on ground, and may be attacked. Attacks between neighbors begin with jabbing at opponent with beak, grab- bing opponent by tail, wing, beak, rarely by neck. Birds gripping each other by beak engage in extended pulling bouts, which may last several minutes (Tinbergen 1960). If individual loses
balance during pulling contest, it is struck with wings or pecked. Attacks on intruders usually begin with charge (see below, Communicative interactions). Birds retreating from opponent often give Shrill Waver or Alarm Call (see Vocal array). Birds also pursue retreating opponents by flight, or on ground with wings upraised. Males engage in fights and pursuits much more often than females do (Tinbergen 196
iscussed.
UPRIGHT POSTURE. Approaches slowly in rigid posture with neck stretched upward and forward with head pointed slightly downward (Tinbergen 1960; see Fig. 6). In high-intensity forms, wings lifted so they stand out from body, increasing apparent size. Wings also positioned to strike blows. Given significantly more often by males than females. Directed at neighbors, intruding conspecifics. Often leads to Grass-pulling (see below) or Long Calling with neighbors. With intruder, if opponent does not retreat, displaying bird begins to approach more rapidly, raises wings more prominently, grading into charge.
CHARGE. Also called Attack or Supplant. Bird
approaches opponent rapidly, half-running,
Upright Posture of the Herring Gull. Drawing by D. Otte after Tinbergen 1960.
half-flying, often giving Charge Call. Intruders almost invariably fly in response to Charge. Intruders that persist are often pursued through air. Intruders that do not fly away are attacked (see above). Males more likely to Charge, especially against male opponent. Females Charge primarily female and immature oppon- ents (Pierotti 1987a)
GRASS-PULLING.Duringterritorialdisputes,1or both opponents take vegetation in beak, brace feet wide apart, pull vigorously at vegetation (Tinbergen 1960). Usually performed while facing neighbor opponent < 1 m away.”
