The “Liverpool Pigeon” (Spotted Green Pigeon). This bird was given this name because it is believed to be the only known specimen of its breed, in the entire world. To hold this in my very hand was emotional. I felt excited to be inspecting the only one in the world so closely. It is very beautifully flecked with subtle glimmers of shining green. Still shining after all this time. Alas, I felt overcome with sadness, that this bird is so very lonely.
