Columbidae – Pigeons and Doves is a family of medium sized Land birds consisting of Pigeons and Doves, generally speaking recently there has been a trend to rationalise the use of the two names by calling the larger birds pigeons and the smaller ones doves but currently this is still in a state of flux, and different authorities use alternative names for the same species. It is the only family of the Order Columbiformes
