The rock dove is a common land bird in Iceland and is considered the wild
ancestor of domestic pigeons. It is most often found in cliffs and rocky
coastal areas but has also adapted well to life near human settlements and
urban environments.
Rock doves are social birds and are frequently seen in flocks while feeding
in open areas. Their diet mainly consists of seeds, grains, and plant matter,
but they also take advantage of food sources found near people.
They nest in rock crevices or sheltered locations and build simple nests.
The rock dove is known for its strong adaptability and long association
with human society.
