About These Birds
Brush Bronzewing
Medium pigeon, 28–33 cm, with richly patterned rufous-brown plumage, bold iridescent bronze and purple wing patches, and a chestnut forehead. Restricted to coastal scrub, heath, and dense forest in southern Australia and Tasmania. Granivore of seeds on the ground. Least Concern.
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.
