Pigeons and doves constitute the bird clade Columbidae that include some 310 species of near passerines. In general the terms "dove" and "pigeon" are used somewhat interchangeably.

The largest species is the crowned pigeon of New Guinea, which is nearly turkey-sized, at a weight of 2-4 kg (4.4-8.8 lb) The smallest is the New World ground-dove of the genus Columbina, which is the same size as a House Sparrow and weighs as little as 22 g.

Does a red tailed hawk hibernate?

The long-distance travelers tend to begin in early autumn while the short distance travelers start much later.

How does a mosquito hawk eat?

Dragonflies mate in a rather unusual manner called the "wheel" (also known as a "heart shape").

The male grabs the female's head with the tip of his abdomen (end of the tail), and she curves the tip of her tail to a higher position on his abdomen. Here he had previously deposited semen from his own tail (the testes) into a secondary receptacle which includes his penis. This organ connects to the female's ovipositor, and the sperm is transferred to the female. (In most cases, the penis is used to first remove sperm left from previous matings.) In many species, the male remains attached to the female as she lays her eggs.

The grasping of the female's head is not always gentle, and can cause severe but seldom fatal injuries.
