Pigeons
rarely get love unlike other birds. They have never got the credit that they
deserved. Instead, they were often dubbed 'Urban Terrors' or 'Rats with Wings'.
But, here
comes one special species of the pigeon family who would definitely change the general
mindset about natural pigeons.
It is the
pink-necked green pigeon which is often called the ‘hot pigeon'!
Their
plumage is outstanding and unique when compared to the ordinary pigeons in cities.
It's vibrant and amazing!
These
pink-necked green pigeons are of endless colours. Just give a try to pick the
colours that you see! Pink, Yellow, Lilac, Green, Blue…
These
majestic species is native to the Southeast Asian forests. Thus, you can never
expect one of them in the city.
Not only
their appearance, but also their diet is quite selective. They mainly feed on
fruits. Figs are special.
And also
they are very good dispersers of fruit seeds.
A couple
of pigeons usually built a flimsy nest with twigs to incubate the eggs to raise
chicks.
This
species truly helps the people understand the beauty of pigeons.
