Gradski golub.

Pogled na goluba u dvoristu zgrade gde stanujem.
Golubovi (Columbidae) porodica su ptica koja obuhvata obicne golubove, grlice, gugutke i dodovke. Centri nastanka, diverziteta i rasprostiranja familije bile su oblasti jugoistocne Azije i Australije . Porodica Columbidae obuhvata oko 42 roda i 310 savremenih vrsta sa svih kontinenata izuzev Antarktika. Golubi su verovatno najzastupljenije ptice na svetu. Golubovi su jake ptice s kratkim vratovima, i kratkim vitkim kljunovima koji kod nekih vrsta imaju mesnate cere. Oni se prvenstveno hrane semenom, vocem i biljnom masom.
Golubovi grade relativno slaba gnezda, cesto koristeci pruce i druge materijale, koji se mogu poloziti na drvecu, ispod streha, ili na zemlji, u zavisnosti od vrste. Oni legu jedno ili dva jajeta istovremeno, a oba roditelja brinu o mladima. Za razliku od vecine ptica, oba pola proizvode „zobno mleko” kojim hrane mladunce.
Golubovi su stalni gosti u dvorist zgrade gde stanujem.

Pigeons (Columbidae) are a family of birds that include common pigeons, turtledoves, doves and appendages. The centers of origin, diversity and spread of the family were the areas of Southeast Asia and Australia. The family Columbidae includes about 42 genera and 310 modern species from all continents except Antarctica. Pigeons are probably the most common birds in the world. Pigeons are strong birds with short necks, and short slender beaks that in some species have fleshy cherries. They feed primarily on seeds, fruits and plant matter.
Pigeons build relatively weak nests, often using reeds and other materials, which can be laid on trees, under eaves, or on the ground, depending on the species. They lay one or two eggs at a time, and both parents take care of the young. Unlike most birds, both sexes produce "oat milk" to feed their young.
Pigeons are regular guests in the yard of the building where I live.
