According to scientists, pigeons were first tamed about 5 thousand years ago in Egypt. The Egyptians began to use tamed pets to send letters. In 1167, their pigeon mail became state mail. During periods of war, pigeons helped out by delivering mail and were even trained in espionage. Today people breed pigeons for fun and competition. In Russia, the first pigeon sport society appeared in 1890. Pigeons are easily tamed by humans.

Instructions
Step 1
Tame the pigeons near your home. You can just teach them to eat from their hands, or you can build a dovecote by inviting birds there. In both situations, use the general rules.
Step 2
Communicate with pigeons regularly. Come to visit them, talk, feed. All this so that the pigeons gradually get used to you.
Step 3
At first, you should come in the same clothes. Pigeons don't like shiny outfits. Wear something neutral, not flashy.
Step 4
When the pigeons get used to you, start hand training them. First, throw food away from you, closing the distance each time. Remember to talk to them while squatting down. Then stretch the food out in your hand. These birds are very fond of sunflower seeds. Pigeons are different, each has its own experience, like a person. Non-shy birds will quickly get used to the hands, perhaps they are already accustomed to them. Be patient with shy pigeons.
Step 5
The pigeon is not just a domesticated bird in ancient times. For many nations, he is a symbol of tenderness, kindness and peace. In the Christian tradition, the dove personifies the symbol of spiritual purity, the image of the Holy Spirit. In this image, the divine principle descended upon Christ during baptism.
