It’s time to show you the pigeons! The ones we see in the cities are just the tip of the feathered iceberg: there are many beautiful and unique pigeons that you probably haven’t seen.

To demonstrate that, we have collected some photos of the most beautiful and stylish pigeons, for your enjoyment.

Pigeons are very interesting when you start learning about them. For example, scientists believe that city pigeons may be the first birds that humans domesticated. They appear in figures, mosaics and coins from ancient Mesopotamia from 4500 BC.

Some people think pigeons are a little dumb. The truth is that according to one study, pigeons understand the concepts of space and time, and are expert navigators, able to find their way back to their nests more than 2 km away, even if they have not seen the path.

It is not yet known exactly why they are so good at this, but humans have known this ability since 3000 BC. People would release caged pigeons and follow them to find nearby land.
