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-large, 30–34 cm cuckoo-dove with dark blackish-brown plumage and a white face, forehead, and throat. Confined to Sulawesi and adjacent small islands in Indonesia, inhabiting forest and forest edge. Frugivore of small fruits and berries in the forest canopy. Least Concern.
