FERAL PIGEON
UPLOADED BY WORLD OF BIRDS
UPLOADED BY WORLD OF BIRDSTo the ears of the city pigeon,
the roaring traffic in our busy
streets may sound rather like
the thunder of the sea. These
adaptable and intelligent birds
(along with fancy doves and
racing pigeons) have one common
ancestor, the Rock Dove (Columba Livia)
which once lived on British coastlines. Several
centuries of domestication have produced
variations in plumage, and now hundreds of
the dove's descendants live on man-made
cliffs to the delight or annoyance of their
flightless neighbours.
