Question: How many types of pigeons are there in the world?

Rupert Marshall answered on 16 Mar 2017:

Pigeons and doves are part of the Columbidae family of birds. There are well over 300 species across the world. There is no real difference between a pigeon and a dove – they are just every day names used for a lot of different species. Some species have been domesticated – there are many more domesticated varieties of pigeons.
