Kehruun

Kehruun is a term with origins in the Finnish language, where it translates to "pigeon." More broadly, it can refer to a species of bird belonging to the family Columbidae. These birds are characterized by their plump bodies, short necks, and slender bills. Pigeons are found in diverse habitats across the globe, often in urban and rural environments. They are known for their intelligence and ability to navigate long distances, a trait that has historically led to their use in homing and messenger services. Kehruun as a concept can also extend to the symbolism associated with pigeons, which often represent peace, love, and fidelity in various cultures and traditions. In art and literature, pigeons are frequently depicted, sometimes as common city dwellers, other times as carriers of important messages or as metaphors for freedom. The term itself, when used, typically invokes the image of these familiar birds and their associated characteristics.
