Pigeon

The pigeon bird family, known scientifically as Columbidae, encompasses a diverse group of over 300 species found worldwide, except in the most extreme environments. Characterized by their stout bodies, short necks, and slender bills, pigeons are renowned for their exceptional navigational abilities, often used in homing and message delivery. These birds exhibit a wide range of colors and sizes, from the small Emerald Dove to the sizable Victoria Crowned Pigeon. Highly adaptable, pigeons thrive in urban areas, forests, and grasslands, playing crucial roles in ecosystems as seed dispersers.
