Note: The common domestic pigeon, or dove, was derived from
the Old World rock pigeon or rock dove ({Columba
livia}), common in cities. It has given rise to

wild pigeon of the Eastern United States is the

{Carolina dove}). Before the 19th century, the most
common pigeon was the passenger pigeon, but that

Pigeon
Pigeons are mentioned as among the offerings which, by divine
appointment, Abram presented unto the Lord (Gen. 15:9). They
were afterwards enumerated among the sin-offerings (Lev. 1:14;
12:6), and the law provided that those who could not offer a
lamb might offer two young pigeons (5:7; comp. Luke 2:24). (See {DOVE}.)
