Te z natury terytorialne #birds jesienią zmieniają swoje nawyki: łączą się w wielkie, zorganizowane głośne stada. Wspólnie szukają jedzenia i nocują, bo w grupie łatwiej wypatrzyć zagrożenie i przekąski.

The pigeon on the riight is a lighter grey with black wing bars and green and purple iridesence on its neck and breast.
