Hello everybody,

This is my firs post on TE.

Always I liked the birds...but birds are so hard to take shots with.
This time I did it.:)

About pigeons

Pigeons and doves constitute the family Columbidae within the order Columbiformes, which include some 300 species of near passerine birds. In general parlance the terms "dove" and "pigeon" are used somewhat interchangeably. In ornithological practice, there is a tendency for "dove" to be used for smaller species and "pigeon" for larger ones, but this is in no way consistently applied, and historically the common names for these birds involve a great deal of variation between the term "dove" and "pigeon." This family occurs worldwide, but the greatest variety is in the Indomalaya and Australasia ecozones. The young doves and pigeons are called "squabs."

Pigeons and doves are stout-bodied birds with short necks and short slender bills with a fleshy cere. The species commonly referred to just as the "pigeon" is the feral Rock Pigeon, common in many cities.

Their usually flimsy nests are made of sticks, and the two white eggs are incubated by both sexes. Doves feed on seeds, fruit and plants. Unlike most other birds (but see flamingo), the doves and pigeons produce "crop milk," which is secreted by a sloughing of fluid-filled cells from the lining of the crop. Both sexes produce this highly nutritious substance to feed to the young.

Hi Sabina and Welcome to TE. Nice photo and note. Nice colors and closeup of the bird, my only suggestion is not to center the objective.
Good job and keep posting.

Hi Sabina,
the strongest aspect of your photo is a lot of details on the pigeon which insn't so much coloured bu sharp in your interpretation.
Congratulation.
I'm interesting in sunsets, raining and other stuff from China :)

Hi Sabina,

Thank you for opportunity to get to know your work. I read your profile info and I must say I quite envy you being in Japan. :) I love to visit it someday, hopefully as soon as possible.
I like your chosen motive. Not many people find interest in pigeons but I like them. They are city birds and I cannot imagine our city without them. You made wonderful portrait put in lovely environment of shadowed patterns, both creating marvelous composition presented beautifully. And of course, warm wellcome to TE. :)

Kind regards,
Jeri
