Some of their most dangerous predators at least in N. America are:

Peregrine falcons, (Falco peregrinus)

Prairie Falcons (Falco mexicanus)

Occasionally – Red Tailed Hawks (Buteo jamaicensis)

Cooper’s Hawk – (Accipiter cooperii)

Feral and domestic cats (Felis domesticus)

Those are usually the major predators, though, of course a lot of other predators will take a bird if they can snag one somehow.

Humans – poison and shoot them

Falcons and hawks – kill and eat them

Cats – Kill and eat

Dogs – Kill for pleasure and sometimes eat them

Rats – Kill, eat

Snakes – Kills adults sometimes, eats squabs (babies) and eggs

Owls – Kill, eat

Parasites (like feather lice and mites, and worms) – Feeds on blood, feathers, or just the pigeon in general

That’s about it

Hope that helped! (even though it was probably more than you asked…) :]

Humans! I think owls might as well, but I am not 100 percent on that! I know that owls will chase them away, but never really looked into whether they ate them or not.
