About Rock Dove (Feral Pigeon)
Rock doves are the pigeons everyone already knows — blue-gray with two dark wing bars and a white rump, though feral flocks run to white, rust and charcoal too. Native cliff birds of Europe and Asia, they took readily to ledges, bridges and barns worldwide. Feral pigeon and rock pigeon are the same bird.
