Wonga

I love this for a name - wonga pigeon. Lovely pattern on their breast too.

[Desi]

I agree it is a great name. And yes indeed the pattern is very different from that of any of our local pigeons

[Kate]

Yes, that is an interesting name.

What a great name for this bird? Wonga is English slang for money

We used to have an onsite caravan on the south coast of NSW (it survived the bushfires only to be destroyed in a storm in July). There was a pair of Wonga Pigeons in the National Park behind us. We were regularly woken in the morning to their repetitive call of wonga-wonga-wonga-wonga.......

[Harry J Benson]
