About These Birds
Inca Dove
Small dove, 19–23 cm, with scaly brown plumage produced by black feather edging, rufous primaries, and a long scallop-patterned tail. Common in arid and semi-arid open areas from the southwestern USA through Central America to Costa Rica. Granivore of seeds. Frequently seen in urban gardens. Least Concern.
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.
