Excuse? Not sure if that’s a sardonic or ironic comment but…
Rock doves, the ancestor to todays feral/domestic breeds are very much wild. In the UK they’ve been pushed out to the edges of Ireland and West/North Scotland by the feral pigeon/interbreeding. They are excellent sooty and shiny birds.
Stock doves are a wild breed. A very neat little pigeon, dressed smartly with a pretty green blush.
The sorely missed passenger pigeons were wild (N.America)
Spinifex pigeons are wild (Australia) in all senses of the word.
Crested Pigeons, wild and holofoil (Australia, share your pigeons!)
Wood pigeons, collared doves and turtle doves are all wild pigeons.
Wood pigeons are big and afraid, the world is out to get them. A++ birds, very brave.
Collared doves are smol and shouldn’t be in the UK, it’s too gloomy here, but they do their best.
Turtle Doves, on the red list, be concerned about this beautiful bird ;; they only visit the UK, I have never been blessed with a sighting of this pretty pidj.
The pink necked green pigeon is wild (
Cambodia, Indonesia etc…) he fell in his makeup bag, but he owns it.
The Victoria Crowned pigeon is wild (native to New Guinea) and far too big for a pidj, needs to calm down, A++ hair style tho.
All of these here Green Pigeons are wild…
And many many others, there are so many excellent pigeons beyond our feral and domestic friends.
Yeah I forgot to clarify– I meant all pigeons descending from rock doves, which most if not all (? @ramseyringnecks ) bred pigeons come from, including the Lahore pigeons.
