| Why do pigeons face west when the sun starts to set? I just have been noticing this every time I go home from work, I see them perched up on wires and all facing the sunset. And of course, I shout to them "Good night pigeons, see you tomorrow"! | |

I've never noticed that.  That's interesting. From now on, if I'm out and about at that time I'll take notice. Thanks. | |

| I've noticed that too. They also seem to face the way the weather's coming, especially wind.  | |

| Oh well, if they face the sun fron sunrise to sundown, they're either solar-powered or the bird world's answer to sunflowers...  | |
