Why do pigeons make pigeon noises? I’m sure if you’re an ornithologist or you know how to Google, you can figure that out.
An easy answer would be because they’re pigeons, and that’s what pigeons do.
I could google that now and give you the a clever answer too. However, I want to know why pigeons make those “koer” noises at night.In the middle of the night – like last night 12:30??
(Koer is an Afrikaans pigeon noise – by the way, do they make the same noise in the US? 
) .
Do they have a bad dream & talk in their sleep? It doesn’t sound as if they’re alarmed, so I doubt if it was to alarm fellow pigeons of a cat or something.
I’m really suspecting that pigeons, like humans, talk in their sleep.

I know that chickens make a kooing noise when they’re asleep similar to when they’re awake, only more relaxed and slower. Yeah, I think that would about be the equivalent of humans talking in their sleep.
Dogs dream when they sleep and sometimes whine softly too.

I know dogs make funny sleep noises – its sometimes amusing to watch them sleep – hehehe.
