Pigeons *are* doves. What you think of as pigeons are probably rock doves.

Taxonomically, pigeons and doves are the same.
Both are members of the order Columbiformes, family Columbidae. The term dove
is generally used for smaller species with pointed tails. "Pigeon" refers to the
larger species with square or rounded tails.
