RE: New Dove visitors

Thats what we call a Turk pigeon, we don't have them here where I live. Instead we have plenty of Rock pigeons, also called Street pigeons, like this:

And of course they love my bird feeder, especially during the winter. Also it has decent food in it, other than the junk they often have to eat here in the city. Stuff people have dropped, like bread, fries and so on.
Same goes for this species, the Wood pigeon, but there are only few around here.

Sort:  

Those are pretty cool looking pigeons. They certainly look well-fed! That wood pigeon looks huge!

Yes, wood pigeons are the largest pigeons. And they do look pretty, especially the rock pigeons can vary a lot with their patterns. But they always have this metallic shine on their necks.
On the downside - pigeons are pretty dumb. It really takes a while until they understand something. But they are smart enough to survive, and thats what counts, isn't it.
