About These Birds
Flock Bronzewing
Medium pigeon, 28–30 cm, distinctively patterned in black, white, and chestnut on the head and neck with plain brown upperparts. Highly nomadic, forming large flocks on arid grasslands and Mitchell grass plains of inland Australia. Granivore of grass seeds. Population fluctuates with rainfall. 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.
