Why do pigeons thrive so well in cities?

Common urban pigeons, Columba livia, appear to be native to North Africa, where they usually dwell on narrow cliff ledges that might be compared to the urban roosts they take up in cities. Pigeons are also among the first birds to have been domesticated, and a large proportion of any urban pigeon population is assumed to be "feral" (once domestic and now--by virtue of escape--wild). Instead of being afraid of humans, these pigeons are used to being fed by them; they know how to take advantages of food sources that other species of birds do not--specifically, little old ladies in tennis shoes.

They also have to be big guys: many oshiya are recruited from the ranks of former sumo wrestlers.
