The Rock Dove (Columba livia) is the wild ancestor of the familiar city, feral pigeon. True wild rock doves traditionally have a fairly consistent appearance, with pale grey plumage and two black bars across their wings, a pattern sometimes called the “blue-bar” form.

Over thousands of years, humans domesticated rock doves for food, racing, and message-carrying. Many of these birds escaped or were released, eventually forming the feral pigeon populations now found in towns and cities around the world. Because these birds are the same species, rock doves and feral pigeons can interbreed, which is why city pigeons show such a wide variety of colours and patterns while still sometimes displaying the classic wing bars of their wild ancestors.

This enamel pin captures the Rock dove in flight with screen-printed black barred feathers and an iridescent neck. Wear to show your love of our feathered friends that have helped in every world war and continue to be sweet additions to our daily lives.
