A pigeon wouldn't burrow because it is a bird and birds do not typically burrow. While moles and gophers are known for their burrowing behavior, pigeons are not adapted for digging or creating underground tunnels. Pigeons typically build nests in trees, on ledges, or in man-made structures like buildings and bridges. They prefer open spaces and do not have the physical adaptations or instincts for burrowing like moles and gophers do.
