Rock doves, also known as rock pigeons, are medium-sized birds commonly found in urban areas and coastal cliffs. They have a variety of colors, including gray, white, and brown, with iridescent feathers on their necks. These birds are known for their strong homing ability, allowing them to return to their nests from long distances. Originally native to Europe and North Africa, rock doves have adapted well to human environments. They primarily feed on seeds and grains, often foraging in parks and streets. Their cooing calls and social behavior make them a familiar sight in many cities around the world.
