Picture Story- Blue Rock Pigeon

Blue Rock Pigeon

Tried my hand at creating a bird portrait. Not bad I guess 😀

I will not describe much about the bird in the picture but feel free to comment and let me know if you are a Martian or are from another planet as then i’ll have valid reason to give you details about the bird in the picture. Just joking you lovely people , no offence meant 😀

This is a Blue Rock Pigeon. Look outside the window right now and if you see one then give me a imaginary high-five 😀 It is a very common resident bird species, one which has adapted well to the urban world. Worldwide populations are stable.

They prefer to nest on hidden places in roof tops, buildings, window panes and cliffs. They forage on the ground, prefer seeds, fruits.

An amazing fact that I’ve come to know about it is that Pigeons can find their way home, even if released from a distant location blindfolded. They can navigate by sensing the earth’s magnetic fields, and perhaps also by using sound and smell. They can also use cues based on the position of the sun. Now how cool is that! 😀
