Pigeons and Doves

This episode is all about birds in the family Columbidae. These are all the world’s many species of pigeons and doves. These birds are more exotic and interesting than many of us give them credit for. This is a widespread, diverse group that has been around for many millions of years. Pigeons and doves occupy many habitats across the planet, and they’ve colonized countless remote islands. Many of them are as richly colorful as parrots or songbirds. ~~ Leave me a review using Podchaser ~~ ~~ Become a patron to support the podcast ~~ Link to this episode on the Science of Birds website Support the show
