About These Birds
Scheepmaker's Crowned-pigeon
Large crowned-pigeon, 66–73 cm, similar to Victoria Crowned-pigeon but with a dark maroon breast and a blue-lace crest lacking the white tips of the Victoria species. Inhabits lowland and hill rainforest of southern New Guinea. Terrestrial frugivore. Vulnerable due to hunting and habitat loss.
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.
