About These Birds
Bare-eyed Pigeon
Medium pigeon, 28–32 cm, pale grey-brown with conspicuous bare yellow-orange orbital skin, giving it a wide-eyed appearance. Restricted to arid coastal scrub and dry forests of northwestern Venezuela, Colombia, and the southern Caribbean islands (Aruba, Curaçao, Bonaire). Feeds on seeds and cactus fruits. 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.
