This amazing silver pigeon is Ghost, BFFs with Macchi2 (the dark one with white flight feathers. Coo's son).
They all keep dirtying up the glass with splashing, and she's still getting used to me, so I can't get a photo of her with the window open yet. What's the actual aviculture name for her colouring?
Edit: I've been told she's a "blue grizzle"!

Today's beast is the beloved city resident, the Rock Dove or Common Pigeon. If you do not enjoy a pigeon, I question your taste, how do you not enjoy these jaunty little fellows and their beautiful colours, they're even iridescent! Quality bird.

A Big Apple Feathursday
These collagraph prints by American artist, educator, and printer John Ross (1921-1917), made for the 1998 Birds of Manhattan, depict a few of the more common birds of that island against various architectural features of the city. It's sometimes easy to forget how biodiverse Manhattan is, particularly in bird life. Manhattan lies on the eastern route of the Atlantic flyway, so it receives many visitors as well as serving as a year-round residence for many species of birds.
The book, another donation form the estate of our late friend Dennis Bayuzick, was conceived, designed, illustrated and printed in an edition of 40 copies by John Ross at his East Hampton, New York High Tide Press in collaboration with relief aid officer and Greek and Latin scholar Lloyd Jonnes, who wrote the text. The binding, with its inset painted relief of a Cardinal, is by James D. Marcantonio at his Hope Bindery in Providence, R.I. This book was selected for the 1998 “50 Books / 50 Covers” by the American Institute for Graphic Arts in New York.
