The highest density is located in downtown pigeons. This is due to the low level of predators in the region and the food is always there.
"Considered as a plague, pigeon own city living close to human activity and take advantage of this proximity in search of food," explained team of French scientists in the journal Animal Cognition.
Researchers conducted two trials in the city park and involves two people (one neutral and one chasing pigeons). "In both trials, the pigeons can quickly distinguish the two men," he said.
Pigeons avoid humans pursued. Even when clothes are interchangeable second man, the bird is still able to distinguish these human uses individual characteristics.
"Revealed, pigeons can quickly learn from interaction with humans to maximize the benefits of the urban environment," he concluded.
