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.

We have a pair of mourning doves who've lived in our yard for years. They don't have the beautiful striping of these zebras but their soft cooing call is quite soothing as these devoted-for-life birds sing to each other. The world has such diversity and wonder in its wildlife, it distresses me whenever mankind decides to interfere or, as in the case of our so-called "president", simply doesn't care. I really like this photo, Lyn. Thank you.

If you've ever wanted to make a difference but found it hard to believe that one person could... check out the Kiva Team Caedes discussion thread and discover that anything is possible.
They are new to me Lyn, I love their markings. I spotted a Downy here in my yard that had deformed beak, it was long, and curved, and she had deformed feet. She was around here for about a month at feeder last year. tigs=^..^=

Nature in all her glory is my uplift on life and so is my love of photography. sandi ♪ ♫
Fine specimens. We don't have many pigeons here. mainly Ibis, seagulls, and assortment of other tropical birds.

Long before the white man and long before the wheel, when the dark green forests were too silent to be real. Lightfoot 1967

Theory of evolution? Flying zebras? Strange but nice looking birds and a good capture of them.

Smooth seas do not make skilful sailors.
I wonder how many people really notice when a species is going through a change LE. Your photo makes us think.
I really like their markings.

People are like cameras--sometimes they lose focus.
Fine capture of these tame Zebra Doves, Lyn.
Very interesting too to read about the avian pox introduced by mosquitoes.
Something comparable has happened in my area. The Zeeland oysters (a delicacy) were almost destroyed by the far larger Japanese counterparts, whose seeds were transported at the bottom of seagoing vessels that had visited Japanese ports.
