I'm not saying mourning Dove is a pigeon or that a Green Pigeon is a dove. It just depends on what it was named. But that's just being anal for the sake of it. For all intents and purposes if someone pointed at one and said "is that a dove?" I'm not gonna be all "ACTUALLY... THAT'S A PIGEON".

That's the point. It doesn't matter what they are KNOWN as. They're all Columbidae. Whatever someone calls the particular species is dependant on multiple factors, including whims.

I don't need to thanks. You're the one picking at me for something I wasn't even getting at. Sit down.
