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.
Yellow-footed Green-pigeon
Large green-pigeon, 33–35 cm; male has bright yellow wing edges and shoulder patches contrasting with a grey head and green body; female is duller. Widespread across South Asia from Pakistan to southwestern China and Indochina, in deciduous forest, woodland, and farmland. Frugivore of figs and berries. Least Concern.
