while i think piegeons are just a form of flying rats, i did grow up in the bronx, and for several years, i lived in a house with a pigeon fancier next door.. he kept a coop less than 6 feet from my living room window (my young son's bedroom was the room above the living room.) so i got to know more about pigeons than i want to know.

mostly they were racing pigeons, but he did have all sorts... i don't think he had tumblers, but i have seen them in the sky. there are still many roof top coops to be seen in all the boro's of NY
