Rock Pigeon

The Rock Pigeon, or Rock Dove, is a common bird in North America.The adult is 11 to 15 in long with a 24 to 28 in wingspan. Weight for wild Rock Doves ranges from 238 to 380 grams , though overfed domestic and semi-domestic individuals can exceed normal weight.

 The rock pigeon has a dark bluish-gray head, neck, and chest with glossy yellowish, greenish, and reddish-purple iridescence along its neck and wing feathers. The iris is orange, red or golden with a paler inner ring, and the bare skin round the eye is bluish-grey. The bill is grey-black with a conspicuous off-white cere, and the feet are purplish-red.

Rock pigeons are the same kind of pigeon that was used in wars to send letters, that's why  they are sometimes called messaging pigeons or carrier pigeons.
