Can be migrating is the reason there is less damage. If in big cities and fed they might not leave. About 5 years ago we had no pigeons/doves next I saw 7 at the neighbour's house, small ones. Today they are all over the area, also bigger ones. In autumn my daughter said the shooting we heard was at the pigeons.

It looked quiet for a few weeks but they are there, so are the nests and heaps of poop (always sitting at the same spot).

It was nice to see that the house looks the same from the outside, even the frontgarden and people live in it, many of these houses are changed into appartments or offices.
