Dove and Pigeon
Dove is the common name of various species of bird in the family Columbidae, order Columbiformes. Other species in the same family are called Pigeon. There is no biological distinction between the two. Small species are often called Dove, and large species, Pigeon, but this usage is inconsistent. The domestic pigeon, Columba Livia, for example is known also as the rock dove. The reason is historical; dove is of Anglo-Saxon origin, while pigeon are French.
