Abstract

We report herein about 101 metagenome-assembled genomes (MAGs) obtained from pigeon fecal samples collected in 2025 from the Beyazıt, Kadıköy, and Beşiktaş squares of Istanbul. The MAGs were predominantly composed of members of the phyla <i>Firmicutes</i>, <i>Actinobacteria</i>, and <i>Proteobacteria</i>, with a lower representation of <i>Campylobacterota</i> and <i>Patescibacteriota</i>.
