Pigeons are widespread in cities and become practically tame, gullible to humans. The same species that live in the wild are distinguished by attentiveness and caution - it is not so easy to approach them, they will certainly notice a stranger. They have developed eyesight and hearing. The voice of the pigeons is not loud, the sounds are abrupt, reminiscent of a dull cooing. Pigeons are very voracious. Their main diet is grains. At the same time, pigeons need to drink a lot in order to soften solid food. Pigeons drink, unlike many other birds, immersing their beak deep in water and, thus, sucking in liquid. Wild pigeons appeared on earth 35 million years ago. The ancestor of all modern pigeons was the rock dove, which still lives in Europe, North Africa, South Asia and the Caucasus. The dove is often mentioned in ancient legends and traditions. For example, among the Assyrians, Queen Semiramis after death turned into a dove. In Palestine, pigeons were sacrificed to the gods; among the Jews, the dove was a symbol of love and moral purity. In Christianity, the dove has a special meaning: this bird is a symbol of peace and friendship. The rock dove, along with the sparrows, is a typical city dweller. It can be found throughout the European part of Russia, Western Siberia and in the south of the Far East. The wild species of these birds is widespread on the coast of the Azov Sea, in the Urals and the Caucasus. Birds that settle in an urban environment have different colors, while in the wild the Dove is always colored the same: gray-gray plumage, two stripes on the wing, a gray tail and a dark beak. Through selection, many new breeds of pigeons were obtained from the Blue Pigeon.
