About These Birds
Partridge Pigeon
Medium ground pigeon, 25–29 cm, with cryptic brown plumage, white face spots, a red and yellow facial mask, and a plain brown back. Restricted to rocky escarpments and woodland in the Kimberley and Northern Territory, Australia. Granivore of seeds. Vulnerable due to restricted range, changed fire regimes, and introduced predators.
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.
