Pigeons and virgins belong to the Columbidae family or pigeon doves of the Columbiformes order, which includes about 300 species of pekicau relatives. In general conversations, the terms "virgin" and "pigeon" can be substituted. In ornithological practice, there is a "virgin" tendency used for smaller species and "pigeons" for large, but this is not consistently applied, and historically the common name for these birds has many variations between the terms "virgin" and "pigeons." These families are found worldwide, but the largest varieties are in Indomalaya and Ekozona Australasia. Dara and young pigeons are called "squabs."
Pigeons and virgins are thick-bodied birds with short necks and short slender beaks with watery cere. The species commonly known as "doves" are wild coral pigeons, commonly used in many cities.
Dara and pigeons build their cages from twigs and other remains, placed in trees, ledges, or soil, depending on the species. They incubate one or two eggs, and both mothers are very concerned about their son, who will leave his cage after 7 to 28 days. [1] Dara ate seeds, fruits and plants. Unlike most other birds (but see also flamingos), virgins and pigeons produce "cached milk." Both sexes produce these nutritious substances to feed their children.
