diamond dove

San Antonio Hixon Bird House (not listed on signs)
It's a male Diamond Dove (Geopelia cuneata), an Australian species. This looks like the silver mutation, not the wild morph..
 
I'm sorry if I wasn't clear: when I said "It's a male Diamond Dove" I wasn't suggesting it, I was stating an indisputable fact. i.e. 500%. :) :) :)

And I used to keep them. Delightful little birds.
 
More % than you can shake a stick at, it's a White-rumped Silver Diamond Dove. Different shape from Speckled Pigeon, which is much bigger, equivalent Domestic Pigeon. Diamond Doves are Budgerigar size.
 
Is there anyone kidding on my costs? Hey guys, stay peaceful, remember, its Christmas time...:)

(The time for a revenge will come...):)
