And it all began like this.Once in the distant past, my father and I went to work for him. I remember it was an evening, and there was already no one there except the guards. We were allowed to enter the attic space, and my picture presented itself to me: in the light of the lantern silhouettes of birds appeared. Frightened by our invasion, they flew from one place to another, while loudly cooing. From that day on, I got this feeling of love for pigeons.
Studying the life of pigeons
Pigeons existed always.In the sacred book of the Bible, pigeons are mentioned even in the Old Testament. Then these birds were sacrificed to God for the sins of man. In the New Testament, the Holy Spirit descended upon Jesus in the form of a dove. It turns out that how many people live, so many of them are surrounded by these birds.
These birds have a phenomenal memory, excellentvision, and they are well-oriented in the new terrain. How many pigeons live, so much they remember their home where they were born. There have been cases when you buy a pigeon, and after a while he flies away and returns home. Pigeons recommend keeping a young bird locked up for a few weeks - until it gets used to it. Do not worry if the pigeon at this time will refuse food - so he misses his family.
You can talk a lot about pigeon fidelity.Even a person should learn from these birds. How many years do pigeons live, so much they keep their love. Even if they are separated, they often remain true to each other. Their loyalty extends to the person: after falling in love with their master, they will come to him on the first call.
These birds are excellent parents.They take turns in incubating their two eggs for 18 days. Nestlings are fed in turn, and when they are growing up and are able to fly, they are going to build a new nest for a new brood. In this case, the female sits on the place that she chose, and the male wears her branches, sticks and everything that comes to him. Without getting up, the female slips everything under herself.
According to the count of pigeons, how many pigeons live,it turns out that 8 to 20 years. It depends on the breed of the bird and, of course, care for it. For example, wild pigeons, who themselves earn their livelihood and nest where necessary, are prone to frequent illnesses and quick death.
Using pigeons
So far no one knows how pigeons are capable offind the way. How many doves live, so many use them to send letters. Pigeon connection was used during the Great Patriotic War and brought great benefits to our troops.
Nowadays, pigeons are increasingly used in sports competitions, where birds overcome from 50 to 1000 km. These rocks can not sit on the ground all day.
There are over 300 species of pigeons, which differ in size, shape, color and abilities. And each of these birds is able to give you a lot of pleasure and pleasant impressions.
