Was the feral pigeon introduced to Australia and why?
Feral pigeons were not introduced to Australia as a wild species. Rather, today's ferals are escaped domestic pigeons which have gone wild, and been highly successful. Pigeons have been popular as domestic animals since ancient times and would have arrived with the colonists. They are used as homing pigeons, racing pigeons, and for pigeon racing, and collected by breeders and pigeon fanciers, as well as pets. It would only have taken a few that escaped or were abandoned to establish feral populations. There are few predators to reduce their numbers in the wild. Feral pigeons are common in most Australian cities. They flourish around human habitation because our buildings provide roosts similar to their ancestral roosts in rocky cliffs. we also provide food sources. Thus, feral pigeons are well established across Australia.
