Pigeon Louse Fly or Pigeon Fly
View through CrossRef
The pigeon louse fly, Pseudolychia canariensis (Macquart) (Insecta: Diptera: Hippoboscidae) is a common, obligate blood-feeding, ectoparasite of pigeons and doves. Both adult males and females feed on the blood of their host. They are adapted for clinging to, and moving through, the plumage of their hosts. Strongly specialized claws help them cling to the feathers of their particular host species. Pigeon flies retain their wings for their entire adult life.
