Animal symbolism
Pigeon
What the tradition holds
Read as homing: the way back, and the value of being able to return.
Where that reading came from
Pigeons navigate hundreds of miles home using magnetic and olfactory cues. They are the same species as the dove above, which is a useful thing to know about symbolism.
A city pigeon is not a rarer bird than yesterday. If you have started noticing them, something about your attention changed first.
