Description
Romeo & Juliet. The Speckled Pigeon (Columba guinea) shares an intriguing connection with the Rock Pigeon (Columba livia). Its striking speckled plumage, with chestnut and white patterns, sets it apart from the more uniform Rock pigeon. Native to sub-Saharan Africa, the Speckled Pigeon thrives in urban and woodland habitats, much like its cousin. Both species are social and vocal, often seen in flocks and contributing a lively ambiance to their environments. While the Rock pigeon is famous for its role as a messenger bird, the Speckled Pigeon captivates with its distinctive appearance and adaptability, showcasing the diverse beauty within the pigeon family. In Afrikaans, the Speckled Pigeon is known as a “Kransduif,” meaning “Ledge pigeon,” which reflects the typical locations where it is commonly seen.
