What is the difference between dove bird and pigeon?

Pigeons and doves are the same family but some of them are more commonly known as doves or pigeons. The collared dove, the white dove and the turtle dove are commonly known as doves whereas the other family members like the feral pigeon, wood pigeon and racing pigeon as known as pigeons. To further confuse, the feral pigeon is descended from the rock dove aka rock pigeon. The wood pigeon is also known as the ringed dove and is largest member of the family. So, a wood pigeon is one type of dove or pigeon whereas the term dove is a general term for the family.

Are passenger pigeons endangered animals?

There are about 310 species of pigeons. Several are endangered. The passenger pigeon, which numbered from 3.5 to 5 billion, was hunted to extinction in about 80 years. The common Rock Pigeon (that we see in most large cities) does not even number 200 million, but is not at risk of going extinct. The Socorro Dove is extinct in the wild (pigeons and doves are the same order and family, but different species. E.g., the common city pigeon, the Rock Pigeon is actually the Rock Dove); the Victoria Crowned Pigeon is Near Threatened (classification on the path to extinction); the Negros Fruit Dove, the Silver Pigeon and the Sulu Bleeding Heart remain with less that 50 in existence. There are a number of other pigeon species that have less than 500 individuals still alive. The reasons for extinction are almost always related directly to mankind, in the destruction of habitats and hunting.
