The highly variable city pigeon; multicoloured birds were developed over centuries of near domestication. Flocks in flight show a wide variety of plumage patterns [2]. They have become extremely tame [1]. This tameness provides many opportunities for observing interesting aspects of bird behaviour [1].
Band-tailed Pigeon (western North Americana) is bigger, has grey rump, plain upperwings, yellow bill and white collar [1].
