Doves and Pigeons: Along with the common feral rock dove, species in 
Austria include wood pigeon, stock dove, turtledove and collar dove. 
The collar dove was originally indigenous to the Indian subcontinent 
and came to Central Europe via Turkey and the Balkans. It was first 
seen in Vienna in1943 and today occurs in all of Central Europe. The 
feeding of doves and pigeons in Vienna is regulated by the ordinance 
under which feeding doves and pigeons is legal as long as no feed 
leftovers remain. In the vicinity of larger towns, pigeons are a 
common pest, feeding on seeds and seedlings. In towns and cities, 
historical buildings and monuments are often fouled by bird droppings.
