“Reminder that we domesticated pigeons and then abandoned them when they were no longer useful to us,” one user wrote. “This is literally the least we can do.”

This is inaccurate. We didn’t domesticate all pigeons (only fancy pigeons, not rock doves like you see in cities), and the ones that we did domesticate survive just fine. The rock dove succeeded so well in modern life because human society matches their natural environment so well: rocks (concrete) everywhere.
