Columbidae is a bird family consisting of pigeons and doves. It is the only family in the order Columbiformes. These are stout-bodied birds with short necks, and short slender bills that in some species feature fleshy ceres. They primarily feed on seeds, fruits, and plants. The family occurs worldwide, but the greatest variety is in the Indomalayan and Australasian realms.
The family contains 344 species divided into 50 genera. Thirteen of the species are extinct.[2]
In English, the smaller species tend to be called "doves" and the larger ones "pigeons".[3] The distinction is not consistent, however,[3] and does not exist in most other languages. For example, the woodpigeon is often referred to, by another name, as the ringdove, due to the white markings on its neck.[citation needed] Historically, the common names for these birds involve a great deal of variation between the terms. The bird most commonly referred to as just "pigeon" is the domestic pigeon, which is common in many cities as the feral pigeon.
Pigeon is a French word that derives from the Latin pipio, for a "peeping" chick,[4] while dove is a Germanic word that refers to the bird's diving flight.[5] The English dialectal word "culver" appears to derive from Latin columba.[4] A group of doves is called a "dule," (pronounced 'dool') taken from the French word deuil (mourning).[6]
Doves and pigeons build relatively flimsy nests, often using sticks and other debris, which may be placed on branches of trees, on ledges, or on the ground, depending on species. They lay one or (usually) two white eggs at a time, and both parents care for the young, which leave the nest after 25–32 days. Unfledged baby doves and pigeons are called squabs and are generally able to fly by 5 weeks of age. These fledglings, with their immature squeaking voices, are called squeakers once they are weaned or weaning.[7] Unlike most birds, both sexes of doves and pigeons produce "crop milk" to feed to their young, secreted by a sloughing of fluid-filled cells from the lining of the crop.
Humankind's relationship with pigeons dates back to the dawn of civilization, and likely even earlier than that. Domesticated pigeons, also known as rock doves, were first depicted in pictographic writing on clay tablets in the Mesopotamian period dating well over 5,000 years old. Some scholars even believe that the birds were kept by Neolithic man as far back as 10,000 years ago.
2. They do backflips in midair, yet no one really knows why
Many birds are known to perform impressive aerial acrobatics in pursuit of prey or to avoid being eaten themselves, but few of those moves are more impressive than pigeons doing backflips. No one knows for certain why some types of pigeons roll backward somersaults in flight, though some suspect that it's done simply for fun.
3. They've learned to ride the subway and are model passengers
Train drivers there say they've seen pigeons regularly riding the subway since the early 1990s - and that they're actually model passengers.
4. They recognize people who are nice to them
Though they may seem to be a little spaced-out from time to time, pigeons remember faces they run across. In one study focusing on birds in the center of Paris, two researchers offered food to the birds or chased them away, respectively. When this was repeated over several visits, the pigeons began to avoid the chaser while being drawn towards the feeder, even if they were wearing different clothes.

5. They see the world in a kaleidoscope of colors
Pigeons are known to have extraordinary vision, and are capable of discriminating between nearly identical shades of color. Humans, for example, have a triple system of color perception whereas pigeons photo sensors and light filters can differentiate as many as five spectral bands -- making the world for them appear to be a virtual kaleidoscope of colors.
6. They're the only bird that can suck up water
7. They have been taught the Alphabet
Pigeons are no dullards. One study found that the birds could be taught to distinguish each letter of the alphabet from all other letters, and actually recognize them in a way very similar to humans, even confusing certain letters that people often get wrong.
