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

 an offspring of some 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 Wild Rock-doves must have 

 been domesticated or semi-domesticated birds, as among them black-spotted 

 and other varieties were common.
