About These Birds
Rock Pigeon
The rock pigeon is the ancestor of all domestic pigeon breeds and one of the most abundant birds in cities worldwide. Pigeons have served humans as messengers, food, and subjects for scientific research — their homing ability and vision have been studied extensively. Darwin's study of pigeon breeding contributed to his theory of evolution.
Ryukyu Green-pigeon
Ryukyu Green-pigeon (Treron permagnus), 34 cm. Larger than White-bellied Green-pigeon; endemic to the Ryukyu Islands (Japan). Green with a yellowish head and white belly. Inhabits subtropical broadleaf forests; highly dependent on Ficus. Frugivore. Vulnerable due to small island range and ongoing habitat degradation.
