I've never particularly liked pigeons until a very persistent one took a liking to me. He follows me outside, waits at the door, and peers at me through the window. I didn't feed him for a long time, as I didn't want to encourage him. Now I give him some bird seed and cake. I am very fond of him now.

Pigeons and doves are symbols of love and commitment (just watch a bonded pair grooming each other and try and say that's not love!), and so many of us treat them like pests.
And to be fair, they can be annoying eating all the seedlings in your garden, or leaving you a messy present in return. And they often seem to go through life completely bewildered by everything... (which is, perhaps rather sweet)
But regardless they are the most devoted, sweetest, most caring birds there are (I think). Bless you abundantly. You're a beautiful human being and I'm sure Bob knows at some level just how lucky he is <3
