minus-squareJubilantJaguar@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·16 hours agoYes, literally rock doves. And yet for some reason the white doves are beautiful symbols of peace and the rock-colored doves are filthy flying vermin. My theory: pigeons are dirty and scruffy because they survive on trash, and that’s why humans hate them. We see our ugly reflection in them.
