Meanwhile pigeons are rotund and polite birds yet people call them the sky rats

Maybe they should be called sky squirrels instead.

That’s perfect. They still shit all over the place, but youre still happy to see them

Happy to see pigeons or squirrels? I am not happy to see pigeons, but I do like squirrels

Squirrels seem cute right up until when they try to chew their way into your house.

Honestly, they're even cute when they're doing that. Jerks.

Speak for yourself. Too many holes chewed in things and bird seed spread around that is not being eaten by birds. Squirrels can just go see you instead.

Rats are actually quite nice and social animals, so that checks out.

Maybe "sky rat" is actually pretty fitting. Both pigeons and rats are polite and rotund
natnelis t1_jdupp5p wrote
And yet we still see them as rats/sky rats.

No they aren't. They are bully birds just like geese. If there is food, they push out all smaller birds, aggressively.

Every single bird on the planet does that though.

Every animal on the planet does that. The fish in my fish tank have a feeding hierarchy.

Therein lies your problem; neither kindergartens or orphanages are known for their satisfying portion sizes.

Because they are disgusting disease spreaders like wild rats. Great as pets apparently but no thanks to wild ones.
Algae_Sucka t1_jdtikuh wrote
The wild ones are just as rotund and loveable, it’s worth the disease you get from interactions with them

All the filthy, nasty looking pigeons are the ones that live in cities, among us. Telling really.
The big fat clean ones that aren't in cities are super cute though.

Woodpigeons. They are gorgeous cute things.
ViolettaHunter t1_jdulkj0 wrote
Pigeons don't actually spread diseases at a higher rate than other birds. It's just a persistent myth apparently.
zeekoes t1_jdv1eu9 wrote
Both rats and pidgeons aren't more dirty or disease ridden that other wild animals. Rats are actually really good at keeping themselves clean.
Both animals are however adapted to human civilisation and present in large numbers. This causes more contact between these animals and humans and thus many more instances in which disease can spread.
