ISBN 978-0-7136-8795-8</ref> They are related to the [[rock dove]]. ==Food== Wood pigeons eat many things, mainly plants such as grains, berries, and nuts. Because of this, they are seen as pests. Wood pigeons feed their babies on [[crop milk]] to help them grow. This causes them to grow very large. ==Description== The wood pigeon is mostly grey, with large white patches on both sides of the neck. They are some of the largest pigeons in the [[Dove|Columbidae]] (pigeon and dove) family. == Related pages == *[[Pigeon]] == References == {{reflist}} [[Category:Doves]] [[Category:Birds of Asia]] [[Category:Birds of Europe]] {{-}} {{biology-stub}}
