ZoologyPigeon (
Columba palumbus) belongs to the genus Columba and is a member of the
Columbidae family, dove and pigeons.
The term columba comes from the Latin columba, „a dove“, the feminine form of columbus, „a male dove“, itself a latinisation of the Greek κολυμβού (kolumbos), which derives from the verb κολυμβάω (kolumbaō), "to dive, plunge headlong, swim". The feminine form of kolumbos, κολυμβίς (kolumbis), "diver", was the name applied by Aristophanes and others to the common rock pigeons of Greece, because of the "swimming" motion made by their wings when flying.
It breeds in trees in woods, parks and gardens, laying two white eggs in a simple stick nest which hatch after 17 to 19 days. Starting from the head, their plumage becomes darker, especially in summer.
MythologyThe dove is the Christian symbol of the holy spirit, symbol of peace, purity and hope. Religious, not Spiritual like the hight flying birds. Vision of a golden light. Longing for the divine light.
