rock pigeon
Common urban bird
A rock pigeon is the common gray pigeon found in cities worldwide, originally native to cliffs and rocky coastlines.
Also called rock dove.
These are the birds that gather in parks and plazas, nest on building ledges, and have become synonymous with urban wildlife: Rock pigeons scattered as the bus pulled up.
