Columba livia
Feral pigeons (Columba livia), are derived from domestic pigeons that have returned to the wild.The domestic pigeon was originally bred from the wild Rock Dove, which naturally inhabits sea-cliffs and mountains. The birds in the pics, are feral pigeons, wich made their nests on the cliffs of Scarborough Heads, Sumner. Pics were snapped before the Christchurch earthquakes, I don't think those cliffs are still standing there, after the December 23, 2011 massive aftershocks.
