How to Call a Pigeon

A form of communication among birds, particularly pigeons, is calling. Calling happens when pigeons produce high-pitched sounds in order to communicate with each other. Pigeons call each other for reasons such a courtship, revealing their location or to share a food source. Humans can also call pigeons, to hunt or feed them.
