Pigeons Les pigeons (genre Columba) sont des oiseaux de la famille des Columbidae, vivant à l'origine dans les milieux terrestres mais s'étant répandus, pour certaines espèces, en plaine et dans les villes, et se nourrissant principalement de graines, mais avec un régime très élargi autour des lieux où les déchets alimentaires leur sont disponibles, ce qui leur vaut parfois le surnom d'"éboueurs urbains". Pesant en moyenne de 500 à 800 g, ces oiseaux appartiennent à plusieurs espèces. On les trouve dans tous les continents. Le pigeon vit entre 5 et 10 ans et (en général) forme des couples stables. Le mâle et la femelle partagent toutes les tâches, y compris celle de nourrir les pigeonneaux avec le lait de jabot qu'ils produisent à l'aide d'une glande de leur jabot. Le Pigeon domestique (Columba livia domestica) est élevé pour sa chair, mais aussi pour la colombophilie et la colombiculture. C'est aussi un oiseau commensal des centres-villes où l'on est obligé de limiter sa reproduction.

Columba Linnaeus, 1758 è un genere di uccelli della famiglia Columbidae. I termini "colombo" e "piccione", usati talvolta indifferentemente, designano comunemente varie specie appartenenti a questo genere. Quella più grande è il colombaccio, diffuso in tutta Europa in ambienti boschivi, mentre il piccione selvatico occidentale è la specie più diffusa nelle aree urbane delle città, affine a varietà addomesticate dall'uomo fin da tempi preistorici. Il genere include diverse decine di specie, molte delle quali di dimensioni leggermente inferiori ai piccioni domestici. I colombi popolano soprattutto aree temperate della regione eurasiatica, però ci sono alcune specie tropicali (soprattutto del Sud-Est asiatico).
