The wood pigeon is a cousin of the feral pigeon. The woodpigeon is 41cm long. It has a white patch on its neck, grey feathers on its head, back and wings and it has a mauve breast.
The wood pigeon is a vegetarian. They eat bread, peanuts, ivy berries, acorns, weed seed and oats. Brown bread is healthier but they can also eat white bread. In the summer they feed on cereals,potatoes,beans,peas and greens.
The wood pigeon makes its nest with twigs, sticks and dirt. It feeds its babies by collecting worms,flys and spiders.
It lives in towns and cities . Most pigeons live in Britain and Ireland.

Wood pigeons have small,beady,amber,starry eyes. When they fly you can see their lovely white patch under each wing.I have observed that they nearly always come in eitheir twos or threes.They fly most uniquely and I mostly see them in the high trees or on the quiet garden pecking at the grass like your chosen image Sometimes spotting different pigeons are hard!!!
ReplyDeleteWow Hannah... that's a fabulous chunk of information. Maybe the girls would like to add some of that to their report. Well done on the research.
