A general term for pigeons that have been bred and improved (illustration). Its ancestor is said to be the rock dove C. livia (English name: rock dove) of the family Columbiformes. Rock doves are found along the Mediterranean coast, West Africa, Arabia, West Asia, India, and northern China, and live on rocky mountains and coastal cliffs. Their bodies are gray-blue with a shiny greenish-purple neck, a whitish back, and two black bands on the wings. Pigeons were bred in Egypt around 3000 BCE, and also in ancient India, China, Greece, and Rome. Source: Heibonsha World Encyclopedia, 2nd Edition Information |
