deny essex Posted May 20, 2013 Report Share Posted May 20, 2013 (edited) This unusual coloured pigeon landed on the feed table , I've never seen one coloured copper like this before , taken on a phone through a window so does not really show the full colour strength. Bird was ringed so either a visitor or in with the towns feral's. Edited May 20, 2013 by deny essex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beardo Posted May 20, 2013 Report Share Posted May 20, 2013 looks a bit like a Brown Cuckoo Dove (Australian native!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deny essex Posted May 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2013 Very similar but looks as though it has a longer tail, picture realy does not do the feral /homer pigeon justice, black shiney hind end and brilliant copper shine front, was a beautiful bird not seen it since.

Beardo Posted May 20, 2013 Report Share Posted May 20, 2013 i'm not suggesting it is, just looks similar - could be a cross bred on purpose though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
