HOMEWORK HELP?!—- what animal hunts a pigeon??
for my little sistterr
Favorite Answer
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.
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…) :]
