That same nickname "flying rat" has been associated with Crows. Both Crows and Pigeons have a place in the world that we modern humans like to forget. We think we live in a perfect world with no debris or even other species that do not meet our standards. HA! Those are the birds a lot of us love the most. The underdogs(birds)!!
Plus another side if the life of a Rock Dove - Often I will be hiking in the woods on the outer reach of our "progress" and hear this low cooing sound. Then a rustle. To my delight there is the Rock Dove hanging out in the wild.
