New Caledonian Pied Pigeon: Bird That Looks Like Savings Bank “Every month I am in anxious anticipation of a call. A call from THEM. They can make themselves known at any, even the most inconvenient moment. They will not leave you alone, no matter how much you ask and beg them. They are bank employees...” Well, you can breathe out, it’s not only you who are pestering you with “great deals”. Intrusive consultants have even reached New Caledonia. Moreover, these non-humans recruited an innocent bird into their ranks - the New Caledonian motley pigeon. This bird is literally an ambassador of Sberbank. The dove is green like an emblem, and its wings are cut through by 3 white stripes, like on the famous logo! Only his chest and butt are bright yellow - you can’t repaint your entire body to match the colors of your favorite company, right? The birds are the size of an ordinary rock pigeon, familiar to all of us. But the feathered one is fattening up, its average weight is half a kilo! In fact, it is not surprising that Sberbank took the dove as a contractor, because this is the bank’s first step to take over the entire World! The animal lives, as you might have guessed, on the French island of New Caledonia. Only this piece of land is located not in Europe, but in the Pacific Ocean, next to Australia. So now even on the other side of the world they will know about profitable credit cards and debit cards from a Russian bank! But, frankly speaking, the consultant from our hero is so-so. Not only does it live in the mountains, never falling below 1 kilometer above sea level, but it can also be found only in dense tropical forests. And in general, this bird is unsociable and tries not to show itself once again, which his work uniform helps him with. The signature green and white color is perfect for hiding among the foliage from bosses, annoying clients and predators. In the meantime, no one sees, you can drive the bulldozer and eat the berries and fruits that birds feed on. Yes, the worker from the New Caledonian pigeon is so-so, but he is an excellent family man, the birds are true monogamists. Once a year, the couple takes out a loan to build a nest. Having set up a house in the tree branches, the pigeons plan on 2 eggs. Despite the busy work schedule, both parents look after the children. Unfortunately, the number of these cute birds is rapidly declining. Hairless primates are destroying local bank branches (I mean, forests), so the poor pigeon has nowhere to live, work and eat. In addition, birds are actively hunted: after all, half a kilo of meat is not lying around on the road. But don’t be discouraged, because each of us can give a bird a chance to survive! Ornithologists believe that the species can be partially preserved through home breeding. For example, blue macaws are being saved from complete extinction. These parrots can no longer be found in the wild; their only chance is through private collectors who breed and pre
