About These Birds
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.

Medium dove, 29–33 cm, brown with a pale grey head, two black neck collars (one partial, one full), and a pinkish breast. Native to the Lesser Sunda Islands, Philippines, and adjacent Indonesian islands. Inhabits open forest, scrub, and agricultural land. Granivore of seeds and grains. Often domesticated across its range. Least Concern.
