The speckled pigeon is frequently seen around human habitation and cultivation. Most of its food is vegetable, and it gathers in large numbers where grain or groundnuts are available. This species builds a large stick nest on protected rocky outcrops and in urban areas often atop covered pergola pillars and on flat roofs under deep eaves and lays two white eggs. Its flight is quick, with regular beats and an occasional sharp flick of the wings that are characteristic of pigeons in general.


Description:

This is a large pigeon at 41 cm in length. Its back and wings are rufous, the latter heavily speckled with white spots. The rest of the upperparts and underparts are blue-grey, and the head is grey with red patches around the eye. The neck is brownish, streaked with white, and the legs are red. Sexes are similar, but immatures are browner than adults and lack the red eye patches. The call is a loud doo-doo-doo.

The speckled pigeon (Columba guinea), or (African) rock pigeon, is a pigeon that is a resident breeding bird in much of Africa south of the Sahara. It is a common and widespread species in open habitats over much of its range, although there are sizable gaps in its distribution. It is sometimes referred to as the Guinea pigeon due to its similar coloring to some species of guineafowl.

You have to grap this bird very strong. If not, it will blow itself free.

Least I forget,
Fvck any girl you want but when it comes to marriage, find a virgin woman and marry. Better to suffer to find a virgin and have a peaceful lasting home than to marry a woman who has been fvcked and mounted by many men and suffer in your marriage.

Be wise.
Do not let any family sell a used woman for you as new. Do not pay bride price and sponsor wedding ceremony just to have a woman who has been fvcked and mounted by many men who was fvcked by men who didn't pay anything except two eggs and indomie. Only a fool would do that. Are you the fool?
this part make me laugh "who was fvcked by men who didn't pay anything except two eggs and indomie. "
yes you are a real man and it pays a lot.
oddly enough such thing will never stop
