There is beauty everywhere in nature, even in the places you least expect it. You walk around outside, and every time you do, you see birds - some of them beautiful, some of them less so. But not many of you have probably stopped to admire the beauty of a pigeon. We're used to common pigeons, so we don't think about them too much, but when we see a special pigeon colored like the rainbow... well, that catches our eye.
And it definitely caught twitter's eye, with a tweet about the pink-necked green pigeon going viral, people admiring its beauty. And luckily, there was a pigeon expert at hand to explain to us exactly what this rainbow-colored beauty is.
No, we have not. And thank you for introducing us to them. We honestly thought that this picture was fake at first. With the different colors of the torso plus the vibrant pink of the feet on the generally common-shaped looking pigeon. How can a pigeon be this beautiful? But it's real, and it's amazing.
Thank you, pigeon expert who is 95% pigeon, for taking the time to share your pigeon wisdom with the rest of us. Our inclination to look at this pigeon and think it's fake made us truly curious about what this little creature is, so we were very happy to find your thread and get informed.
