Pretty Pigeon

We were in Yokohama last week and saw a very pretty pigeon! We were sitting outside, feeding the birds, and a gang of pigeons showed up. All of them except two were normal grey and black, but one was a beautiful white and orange/rust color! There was another that was solid black, but that one had severely deformed feet and couldn't walk. The best he could do was hobble a couple of inches. He had to stay lying down unless he was flying. It's amazing a cat or hawk hasn't picked him off yet. I love seeing all the color mutations on pigeons. They are such an underrated bird!
