Reseña del libro "The Lives of Pigeons: A Visual Diary"
This volume is directed at wildlife enthusiasts who enjoy perusing images of bird behavior. Its focus is the pigeon (Columba livia), an avian both beloved and maligned. This book is not intended as a serious study of the subject. Rather, it is a light-hearted treatment of pigeon behavior drawing parallels to human conduct. The purpose is primarily humor. Hopefully, the photographs will elicit smiles of recognition, possibly even laughter. Like humans, pigeons vary in size, shape, and color. This volume showcases their biodiversity dispelling the stereotype of a dull gray pest. Like humans, birds fall in love, build homes, raise families, and socialize. They preen, bathe, engage in sex, and are the victims of violence. Their presence is global, and they can even fly!
