Funny but snopes says merely a legend https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/field-of-seeds/

Yep, pigeons can differentiate human face traits (generally speaking).

Though many keepers have told me that raptors tend to distrust them if their clothing is different (shirt, hairstyle, hat, glasses, etc.)

Haven't heard the same behavior from columbidae.

I have pet parrots, they can be put off by a change of clothing. My husband bought a hawaiian shirt and became persona non grata for a couple of hours before the birds accepted that he hadn’t been replaced with a colorful imposter.

You can tell it's made up because it has "it's said that" in it.
