Pigeon

While researching the breed of pigeon this is.   I was quite surprised to realize there were 308 different breeds of pigeons.    Amazing.     This is a Rock Pigeon they were domesticated in 4500BC.  These were the birds used to deliver messages to Caesar.   They were introduced to North America in the 1600's from Europe.
