There are a number of different pigeons with differnt "cooing" voices. As of 2008 it seems that people find city pigeons which have made their way to the bush to be preferable, perhaps as something new, and are purposefully feeding and raising them. These birds fly free in many places, as do the semi-tamed parrots in Aguila and Cane Creek.
