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.
Thick-billed Green-pigeon
Medium green-pigeon, 27–30 cm, named for its notably thick, curved bill adapted for crushing large fig seeds; male has a red bill base and maroon shoulder; female is green. Widespread in lowland and hill forest from the eastern Himalayas through Indochina to Sumatra, Borneo, and the Philippines. Frugivore of hard-seeded figs. Least Concern.
