GTA 6 Status — Leak, Not Confirmed
Pigeons are associated with the September 2022 GTA 6 leak rather than the official trailers, so treat them as a leak sighting, not a Rockstar confirmation. Their natural role is ambient urban atmosphere. GTA V notably used pigeons as a collectible ('Under the Bridge' / the 50 hidden pigeons), but there's no indication that returns.
The Real Bird
The rock pigeon is the ubiquitous city bird worldwide, thriving on ledges, plazas, parking lots and anywhere people gather and drop food. In a Florida-urban setting it's the obvious background bird of Vice City's streets and waterfronts.
Precedent in the GTA Series
GTA IV famously hid 200 collectible pigeons and GTA V hid spaceship parts and other collectibles; pigeons themselves have been ambient city birds throughout the series. Any GTA 6 role is unconfirmed.
What Changed on This Page
Removed invented behaviour and 'confirmed' framing; relabelled as a 2022-leak sighting. Kept honest franchise context (GTA IV collectible pigeons) as history.
