About These Birds
Ochre-bellied Dove
Medium dove, 25–28 cm, brown above with a grey head and distinctive ochre-orange wash on the belly and lower breast. Confined to humid montane forest on the Pacific slope of southwestern Ecuador and northwestern Peru. Terrestrial forager of seeds and fruits. Endangered due to extensive deforestation in its small range.
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.
