Like most of you know the common name is not really
what matters,it is the scientific order that is important.
For example the New Zealanders call the Great
Egret (Casmerodius albus) the White Heron.
But we take no notice and still call it the
Great Egret .
The Feral Pigeon sometimes called the rock dove or
rock pigeon But we still know it is in the familly Columbidae and is The
Feral Pigeon.
So the difference between doves and pigeons is
an irrelevant question and with a bit of thought it can be answered quite
easily.
