Though this bird was shot " among wild Pigeons," it is almost certainly 

 an offspring of soiree domesticated or semi-domesticated pigeons. The wild 

 race of Columba livia livia does not live in Germany, the flights of pigeons which 

 Brehm and other ornithologists looked upon as WUd Rook-doves must have 

 been domesticated or semi-domesticated birds, as among the;n black-spotted 

 and other varieties were common.
