Description
Table Of Contents: The wild rock dove nests on cliffs in Eurasia and North Africa. Its semi-domesticated descendant the so-called pigeon, has found buildings sufficiently like the ancestral habitat to have become one of the most abundant birds in our cities. Their numbers are much greated than they would be if they were not fed by well meaning citizens.
Abstract: The highly variable city pigeon; multicolored forms were developed over centuries of near domestication. The birds most closely resembling their wild ancestors have head and neck darker than back, black bars on inner wing, white rump, black band at end of tail.

Rock Pigeon (Columba livia) is a member of the bird family Columbidae, doves and pigeons. The domestic pigeon is this species, and escaped domestic pigeons have given rise to the feral pigeon. In common usage, this bird is often simply referred to as the "pigeon". The species was commonly known as Rock Dove until 2004, when the British Ornithologists' Union and the American Ornithologists' Union changed the official English name of the bird in their regions to Rock Pigeon.
