About These Birds
Mindanao Bleeding-heart
Medium ground dove, 25–30 cm, with brown upperparts, a blood-red breast patch, and a distinctive crest of long dark hackles on the hindneck. Endemic to Mindanao and adjacent Philippine islands. Inhabits primary lowland and hill forest floor. Terrestrial frugivore and granivore. Vulnerable due to ongoing deforestation.
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.
