Pigeons

Pigeons, also known as rock doves, belong to the family Columbidae and are widespread birds found in urban and rural environments. Pigeons typically have a compact body, short legs, and a characteristic cooing call. They come in various colors, including grey, white, and brown.

Highly adaptable, pigeons thrive in diverse habitats and are known for their ability to live in urban settings, often forming flocks. Pigeons are social birds that often travel and roost in groups. They have a strong homing instinct, and some breeds are used in pigeon racing.

Pigeons have historical significance, being used for communication, particularly during times of war, and symbolize peace in various cultures.
