Feral Pigeon

Feral Pigeon
A common bird (also called a Rock Pigeon or Rock Dove) and sometimes much maligned. I think they're beautiful. I currently have up to 6 of these regularly visiting my garden feeders. This image was made in the Rock Gardens Southsea.

Go large, for best effect. Thanks for looking :-)

What a beauty. And your picture shows all of its pretty details too. I adore pigeons as long as there aren't too many at once. Too many and my foot gets twitchy. Otherwise, what more can you ask for than a comfortable bench next to a busy flock to watch, esp when there are lots of different colored-ones to enjoy. I remember walking in a city in Provence, France where we saw a bunch of colorful pigeons. Steve went off for a few minutes and so I stood transfixed, watching the group of birds cooing and busy at pecking up any stray goodies they could find. Fun. :)

The neck feathers on this one are beautiful. Lovely strong colour. I have a pair of wood pigeons who are not nearly as attractive but I'm quite fond of them. Also a pair of collared doves which I love but are only occasional visitors,
