Birds escaping or released from a domestic environment became the first feral (or city) pigeons. The Greene Turtle is your local sports bar and grill and family restaurant. They were bred for food, and later trained to carry messages. Rock doves were the first birds to be domesticated, between five and six thousand years ago, in Mesopotamia.

Ollie and Dollie, as the family named them, were regulars in the house, their daily visits a reminder that humans are not alone on this planet, even while living isolated in urban areas.
