I love all the patterns pigeon's feathers can have. Specially rock pigeons. So many different colors, so many different layers. All of them so lovely on their own by their own personality and beautiful self. 😭

Presenting you from pigeons Across the globe

2. Brown Frillback Pigeon
3. Bronzewing Pigeon (Australia)
@mur2501 I've already heard of the Nicobar pigeon, but for real tho, aren't they such special and beautiful living beings?! 😍
@Defectivetrxgedy
Nicobar pigeons are the only living member of their genus Caloenas.
Also they are the closest relatives of the extinct Dodo and the Rodriguez Solitaire
@mur2501 I suppose they are a protected species?
The infos you're giving me here are so cool, I'll look it up a bit more because I want to know more 😍
@Defectivetrxgedy
Well technically in India all pigeon species are protected as they are culturally significant but this doesn't extends to actual protection of them atleast outside sanctuaries. Nicobar pigeons are hunted for food and a their stomach stones are popular in jewelry. Though the main threat is the destruction of habitat which was accelerated especially after the 2004 Indian ocean tsunami.
@mur2501 This is so sad. 😞
