This is the harbour wall from where I took This Picture of the fish.
I was soon joined by these little Zebra Doves that abound in Honolulu along with their relatives, the larger Spotted Dove.
They are extremely tame and will feed from your hand.
You will notice two of them have deformed feet. We saw some that were missing a whole foot.This is caused by avian pox or 'bumble foot' introduced when mosquitoes were brought to the islands in the 1800's. It is a serious threat to Hawaii's native forest birds who have no natural immunity to it.
