Don't ever become a bird watcher what ever you do. Those birds in your photos are "Crows", not "Piegons".

Touche! You are so right. I obviously have got too old to chase birds so have forgotten what they look like. Of course they are crows!

It reminds me of the story of an old man who came upon a little boy sitting down crying, He asked him what was wrong and the little fellow said "I can't do what the big boys do!". So the old man sat down alongside him and started crying too.
