angoragöken

The Angoragöken, also known as the Rock Pigeon or Columba livia, is a common bird species found worldwide. It is a member of the dove family and is the ancestor of the domestic pigeon. Wild Angoragöken typically inhabit cliffs and rocky areas, hence their name, but they have adapted readily to urban environments, becoming a familiar sight in cities and towns.

These birds are characterized by their generally grey plumage, though variations in color and pattern exist, especially in domesticated breeds. They have a distinctive iridescent sheen on their necks. Angoragöken are ground-feeding birds, primarily consuming seeds, grains, and fruits. They are known for their strong homing instincts and were historically used for carrying messages.

The breeding season for Angoragöken can occur year-round, with females typically laying one to two eggs per clutch. Both parents share incubation and chick-rearing duties. Their adaptability, reproductive success, and ability to thrive in diverse habitats have contributed to their widespread distribution. While sometimes viewed as a nuisance in urban areas, the Angoragöken plays a role in many ecosystems and has a long history of interaction with humans.
