Doves and pigeons form the family Columbidae. There are 289 known species in the world. The terms "pigeon", and "dove", are actually interchangeable, with pigeons normally referring to the larger species of the family. However, the rock dove is known as the feral pigeon of large cities.

Which two organisms are more closely related lizards and pigeons or mice and chimps?

Mice and chimps are more closely related than lizards and pigeons. Both mice and chimps are mammals, sharing a more recent common ancestor compared to the more distantly related reptiles (lizards) and birds (pigeons). The evolutionary lineage of mammals diverged from reptiles and birds much later, making the connection between mice and chimps stronger.


Are turtledoves and pigeons the same thing?

Turtledoves are generally smaller and have a more slender appearance, with distinctive features like a long tail and soft cooing calls. Commonly recognized species include the Eurasian collared dove and the mourning dove, which are often referred to as turtledoves. While all turtledoves are pigeons, not all pigeons are turtledoves.
