About These Birds
New Britain Bronzewing
比亚克岛地鸠是印度尼西亚比亚克岛的特有鸠鸽，极为罕见。体羽深棕，与近缘种相似但分布更为局限。栖息于低地热带雨林，以种子和小型无脊椎动物为食，主要在地面活动。因分布极窄，被列为易危物种。
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.
