This is a veteran one legged pigeon, that from time to time flies by hoping to get some crumbs.
Despite his disability, he's very scrappy and not to be scared away easily. Tough guy!

The Victoria Crowned Pigeon (Goura victoria) is the largest species of pigeon, native to the lowland and swamp forests of Northern New Guinea and its neighboring islands. It is known for its striking appearance, featuring vivid blue and purple feathers, a maroon breast, and elegant lace-like crests on its head. These pigeons prefer moist, low-lying areas near rivers and wetlands, and they are somewhat social, often living in small groups of 2-10 individuals. Named in honor of Queen Victoria, they are recognized for their unique beauty and size, weighing up to 7 pounds and measuring over 2 feet in length.
It is a member of the bird family Columbidae (doves and pigeons). In common usage, this bird is often simply referred to as the 'pigeon'. The domestic pigeon descended from this species. Escaped domestic pigeons have raised the populations of feral pigeons around the world. Wild rock doves are pale grey with two black bars on each wing, whereas domestic and feral pigeons vary in colour and pattern. Few differences are seen between males and females. The species is generally monogamous, with two squabs (young) per brood. Both parents care for the young for a time. Habitats include various open and semi-open environments. Cliffs and rock ledges are used for roosting and breeding in the wild. Originally found wild in Europe, North Africa, and western Asia, pigeons have become established in cities around the world. The species is abundant, with an estimated population of 17 to 28 million feral and wild birds in Europe alone. 15770
