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.
Cinnamon-headed Green-pigeon
Small-medium green-pigeon, 25–28 cm; male has a cinnamon-rufous head and neck contrasting with yellow-green body and grey wings; female is plain green. Inhabits lowland and foothill forest, forest edge, and mangroves in Malay Peninsula, Sumatra, and Borneo. Frugivore of figs and berries in the forest canopy. Least Concern.
