Eastern Bronze-naped Pigeon
Medium-sized pigeon, 28–31 cm, with a rich chestnut back, dark bluish-grey head, and a distinctive iridescent bronze-green nape patch. Males show a white throat streak.

Felsentaube
Die Felsentaube ist die Stammform aller Haustaubenrassen und einer der häufigsten Vögel in Städten weltweit. Tauben dienten dem Menschen als Boten, Nahrungsquelle und Forschungsobjekt – ihre Orientierungsfähigkeit und ihr Sehvermögen wurden ausgiebig erforscht. Darwins Studien zur Taubenzucht trugen wesentlich zu seiner Evolutionstheorie bei.
