I saw a small brown bird, with orange legs, perhaps slightly larger than a common myna, and think it is a juvenile pigeon, does that sound right? None of the normal adult markings, but it walked with that funny head movement of a pigeon I believe.
Seen along a canal inner west sydney.
Not a lot to go on there, occonore, but the head movement seems to have pointed you towards a pigeon. Sighting this in a heavily urbanized area is a also indicative of a pigeon of the feral variety.
yes thank you. I just am hoping to see a bird other than the ubiquitous magpies, pigeons, currawongs, lorrikeets and noisy miners! Not that i don't enjoy them and their singing.

Let's hope it was a native pigeon, then.
Yes, a very rare and hitherto unknown species!
(Actually, i have also seen crested doves, and believe they are native?)

Yes, Crested pigeons are native
