Answer 14

No, pigeons do not migrate. I'm guessing you mean pigeon as in Rock Dove - the ones you see in big cities. Passenger pigeons used to migrate, but they are extinct because we shot them all. Rock Doves are built to hold up against the weather, like many other birds. They moult into thick feathers to stand the cold, and can fly miles and miles away from their nest to find food in the winter if they have to in order to survive. This isn't considered migrating because at the end of the day, they will return home, not stay where the food is. When a pigeon is about 2 months old, it imprints its location in its brain as "home" and will always return there, unless domesticated and broke into its new loft.
