Nice….does anyone know what kind of bird that is?
(Actually I already asked this the other day, don’t understand why this was not allowed through by the moderator?)
I believe the bird is Columba livia domestica, also known as a pigeon.
Mica, a pigeon really! From that view with it’s wings all spread out it looks so majestic.
Actually I think pigeons are very under appreciated. Their back and wings have these beautiful shadings and patterns, and the back of their neck often have a beautiful iridescence in the sunlight. Thanks for answering.
