The Fascinating World of Birds: Pigeons, Oil Birds, and Owls

🐦Pigeons belong to the same family as doves and produce a milk-like substance to feed their chicks.

🦉Owls have specialized feathers that reduce air turbulence, allowing them to fly silently and hunt with precision.

🌿Oil birds, known for their exceptional hearing, use echolocation to navigate dark caves, and their retinas contain high densities of light-sensitive rods.

🕊️Pigeons and doves are symbols of peace and purity, but pigeons exhibit fascinating traits like milk production for chicks and unique head-bobbing behavior.

🌏There are approximately 308 species of pigeons found worldwide, except in Antarctica.

Do pigeons produce milk like mammals?
