Even within one species, there is inconsistency.
The most widespread species is called both Rock Dove and Feral Pigeon. I think
it should be called "Commensal Pigeon".

Hi all,
Can anyone tell me what makes a dove
a dove and a pigeon a pigeon? Are these two names used to discribe any
particular attributes? I have looked in a number of books and i can not find
out what makes a dove a dove and a pigeon a pigeon. Thankyou for your
help.
Yours sincerely
Mr Jade Welch
