About These Birds
Zebra Dove
Small dove, 20–23 cm, finely barred brown and grey all over with a small blue-grey face and a long slender tail. Native to Southeast Asia and Indonesia; widely introduced to Hawaii, Tanzania, and elsewhere. Inhabits open scrub, gardens, and paddy fields. Granivore of tiny seeds and millet. 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.
