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.
