This is an alphabetical list of pigeon breeds. Pigeons and doves are members of the bird family Columbidae. Doves tend to be smaller birds and pigeons larger ones, although this distinction is not consistently applied.
The birds listed here are breeds of the Domestic Pigeon (Columba livia domestica). Other Columbidae species (e.g., the domesticated Barbary Dove, Streptopelia risoria) have been developed into breeds, but these are generally simple color variations.
