Columba livia

Rock Dove

Felsentaube

Rock doves were apparently the first birds to be domesticaded around 4500 B.C., being raised first for their meat and later for their message-carrying ability. Soon the species became naturalized and were breeding on their own. Today, the pigeons inhabit almost any rural or urban landscape. Reifel Sanctuary, Ladner, BC. Canada
