Rock Pigeon or Columba livia I do like the iridescent neck colors. When you get too many of any animal in a specific area they become a nuisance. When this happens pigeons are often called flying rats. Their droppings, feathers and noise are destructive to property and do carry disease to humans.<br /> 5N4A6394 Columba livia domestica,Domestic Rock Pigeon,Fall,Geotagged,United States Click/tap to enlarge

The Domestic Rock Pigeon

The Domestic Pigeon was derived from the Rock Pigeon. The Rock Pigeon is the world's oldest domesticated bird. Mesopotamian cuneiform tablets mention the domestication of pigeons more than 5,000 years ago, as do Egyptian hieroglyphics.
