The black-billed wood dove is a pigeon which is a widespread resident breeding bird in a belt across Africa just south of the Sahara Desert.

The crowned pigeons (Goura) is a genus of birds in the family Columbidae.
It contains four large species of pigeon that are endemic to the island of New Guinea and a few surrounding islands.
The species are extremely similar to each other in appearance, and occupy different regions of New Guinea.
The genus was introduced by the English naturalist James Francis Stephens in 1819.

This page is a list of the genera of pigeons and doves, which are a clade of bird species of cosmopolitan distribution.
The group has 310 living species.
Extinct species assignment follows the Mikko's Phylogeny Archive and Paleofile.com websites.
Classification is based on the work by John Boyd.

The International Ornithological Committee (IOC) recognizes 352 species in family Columbidae, the pigeons and doves.
They are distributed among 50 genera.
This list is presented according to the IOC taxonomic sequence and can also be sorted alphabetically by common name and binomial.
It includes 13 extinct species.

The Nicobar pigeon or Nicobar dove is a bird found on small islands and in coastal regions from the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, India, east through the Indonesian Archipelago, to the Solomons and Palau.
It is the only living member of the genus Caloenas alongside the extinct spotted green pigeon, and is the closest living relative of the extinct dodo and Rodrigues solitaire.

The red-billed pigeon is a relatively large, robust species of pigeon.
Its breeding range extends from southern Texas, United States, to Costa Rica.
It is primarily found throughout coastal and lowland areas of Mexico and Central America.
It belongs to a clade of Patagioenas which generally lack iridescent display plumage, except some vestiges in the pale-vented pigeon.

The short-billed pigeon is a largish pigeon which breeds from southern Mexico south to northwestern Colombia.
It is a member of a clade of Patagioenas that contains the smaller and rather plain species with characteristic calls that constitute the subgenus Oenoenas.

The spotted green pigeon or Liverpool pigeon is a species of pigeon which is most likely extinct.
It was first mentioned and described in 1783 by John Latham, who had seen two specimens of unknown provenance and a drawing depicting the bird.
The taxonomic relationships of the bird were long obscure, and early writers suggested many different possibilities, though the idea that it was related to the Nicobar pigeon prevailed, and it was therefore placed in the same genus, Caloenas.
Today, the species is only known from a specimen kept in World Museum, Liverpool.
Overlooked for much of the 20th century, it was recognised as a valid extinct species by the IUCN Red List only in 2008.
It may have been native to an island somewhere in the South Pacific Ocean or the Indian Ocean, and it has been suggested that a bird referred to as titi by Tahitian islanders was this bird.
In 2014, a genetic study confirmed it as a distinct species related to the Nicobar pigeon, and showed that the two were the closest relatives of the extinct dodo and Rodrigues solitaire.

The thick-billed green pigeon is a species of bird in the family Columbidae.

The thick-billed ground pigeon, also known as the jungle pigeon or the slaty/grey ground pigeon, is a species of bird in the family Columbidae.
It is monotypic within the genus Trugon.
Native to New Guinea, its natural habitat is moist tropical lowland forest.

The Tongan tooth-billed pigeon, is an extinct species of pigeon that was endemic to Tonga that lived in the Quaternary period.
A related species, the tooth-billed pigeon, is the only known living species in its genus.

The tooth-billed pigeon, also known as the manumea, is a large pigeon found only in Samoa.
It is the only living species of genus Didunculus.
A related extinct species, the Tongan tooth-billed pigeon, is only known from subfossil remains in several archeological sites in Tonga.
The tooth-billed pigeon is the national bird of Samoa and featured on the 20 tālā bills and the 50 sene pieces of the 2008/2011 series.
Native only to Samoa's primary rainforest, it is considered to be endangered, with only a few hundred individuals thought to remain in existence.
