The large bird genus Columba comprises a group of medium to large stout-bodied pigeons, often referred to as the typical pigeons. In Scientific nomenclature, synonyms are different Scientific names used for a single Taxon. Charles Lucien (Carlo Jules Laurent Bonaparte 2nd Prince of Canino and Musignano ( May 24, 1803 &ndash July 29, 1857) was a French Year 1855 ( MDCCCLV) was a Common year starting on Monday (link will display the full calendar of the Gregorian Calendar (or a Common year Birds ( class Aves) are bipedal endothermic ( Warm-blooded) Vertebrate animals that lay eggs. A genus (plural genera from Γένος Latin genus "descent family type gender" is a low-level Taxonomic The term columba is the latinized form of the Ancient Greek κόλυμβος (kolumbos) “a diver”, from κολυμβάω (kolumbao), “to dive, plunge headlong, swim”. The Ancient Greek language is the historical stage in the development of the Hellenic language family spanning the Archaic (c Aristophanes (Birds, 304) and others use the word κολυμβίς (kolumbis) "diver", for the name of the bird, because of its swimming motion in the air. Aristophanes (Ἀριστοφάνης ˌærɪˈstɒfəniːz in English ca
As with other genera in the family, the terms dove and pigeon are used interchangeably, although smaller species are more likely to be called doves. The species commonly referred to just as the "pigeon" is the feral Rock Pigeon (Columba livia). It is this species that has given rise to the majority of domesticated pigeon varieties, including the racing pigeon. Domestication (from Latin domesticus) refers to the process whereby a Population of Animals The domestic pigeon ( Columba livia f domestica) was derived from the Rock Pigeon. A Racing Homer is a Breed of pigeon that has been selectively bred for more speed and enhanced homing instinct for the sport of Pigeon
Most species in this genus are found in the Old World, but there are a few representatives in the Americas, and some species, notably the Feral Pigeon, have been introduced outside their natural range. The Americas are the lands of the Western hemisphere or New World, consisting of the Continents of North America and South America Feral pigeons, also called city doves, city pigeons or street pigeons, are derived from Domestic pigeons that have returned to the wild
The American species of Columba should be split off as a separate genus, Patagioenas, as it was done by the American Ornithological Union. Patagioenas is a genus of New World pigeons that was split from the genus Columba (Johnson et al The American Ornithologists' Union ( AOU) an ornithological organization in the USA. That the American radiation constitutes a distinct lineage is borne out by molecular evidence (e. g. Johnson et al. , 2001)
