pigeon – today's bird

i just discovered peak fashion

Can I request photos of your favorite pigeon breeds and colors?(If you have any specific ones) Also, maybe some of the more uncommon and lesser known breeds if possible too, if you can think of any? Sincerely, a follower who cannot get enough of one of their favorite birds.;_;

hmm…i admittedly know more about species than breeds. some of my favorites are:

archangel

love the metallic sheen of the feathers!! my favorite colors are black-winged copper and full black

barb

any color…i love their funky eye rings, they look like the centers of daffodils. i don’t necessarily encourage their breeding, much like pugs, but they’re lovely nonetheless.

lahore

my favorite color is probably brown and white or silver and white. very aesthetically pleasing birds altogether though

old german owl

i REALLY want to own one of these someday…they are precious.

moon pigeon

todays bird: this crested pigeon!

you all talk about how pigeons are ugly but can you do this

the kererū or new zealand pigeon is a fruit-pigeon native to new zealand. ‘kererū’ is an onomatopoeic name, based on their cooing vocalizations. these frugivorous birds feed mostly on peaches and introduced plums, but their love of fruit has given them a reputation for trouble. kererū often eat berries that have hung on the tree too long and fermented, causing them to become ‘drunken’ and act erratically.

although frequently assumed to be grouped with other birds, the dodo was a large member of the pigeon family. its closest living relative is the nicobar pigeon, a bird with striking iridescent plumage that is found mainly on small islands in asia. the nicobar pigeon feeds on fruits, seeds, and insects, and lives in small flocks. adult birds have a distinct white tail; the sexes are similar, but females are slightly smaller. unfortunately, the nicobar pigeon is rated ‘near threatened’ by the iucn as of 2018, mainly due to hunting.
