Description

Feral pigeons are among the most familiar and abundant of the birds of the world. They are a major urban pest species, living closely in association with man but with all the characteristics of highly adapted wild birds. This book focuses on population biology and behavioural ecology, and includes a very thorough listing of primary references in the scholarly literature.
