Paloma doméstica

Entre las aves mas exitosas del mundo, las palomas bravias son nativas de acantilados y cuevas costeras de Europa, norte de Africa y el sur de Asia, pero han sido domesticadas durante miles de anos e introducidas globalmente en todos los centros urbanos del planeta. Su excepcional capacidad de orientacion, navegando miles de kilometros mediante campos magneticos, posicion solar y referencias del terreno, las convirtio en mensajeras militares vitales y aves de carreras deportivas. Hoy, las poblaciones asilvestradas habitan todas las grandes ciudades del mundo.
