It's not a pigeon, and both of them look like cardboard cutouts.
If not a pigeon, what is it?
Looks like a Eurasian Collared-Dove. They're an invasive species in Texas & the
Southeastern U.S., although they have been spotted as far west as Oregon.

Pigeons (what we call pigeons here in the U.S.) are doves, but not all doves are
pigeons.
It (the species) invaded the UK in the early 50s. By 1972 it was where I lived
halfway up England, at which point I moved 200 miles north. It took until the
mid 1990s to reach me and it is ubiquitous now. I saw them in Edinburgh, 150
miles north, earlier this year so the spread appears to be slowing. The damned
things never shut up.
The Eurasian Collared-Dove? or the Rock-Dove that we call pigeons here in the
U.S.? ... I don't remember if Rock-Doves are native to the U.S. or not, but I
thought they were native in the U.K.

Or do they both suck? I can rarely tell with my own photos.
