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.
Red Collared-dove
Small dove, 20–23 cm, sexually dimorphic: males have a brick-red back and wings with a blue-grey head and black collar; females are browner. Widespread across South and Southeast Asia from India to the Philippines, in open agricultural land and scrub. Granivore of seeds and small grains. Least Concern.
