About These Birds
Peruvian Pigeon
ペルーとエクアドルの乾燥した谷間に生息する希少なハトで、狭い分布域と限られた個体数により絶滅が危惧されている。
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.
