It can be divided into five subfamilies: pigeon subfamily, tooth-billed pigeon subfamily, crested pigeon subfamily, pheasant pigeon subfamily and fruit pigeon subfamily.
Pigeonsubfamily
There are 29 genera, 18 1 species, which is the largest group of pigeons, including pigeons, pink pigeons, turtledove, cuckoo pigeons, long-tailed pigeons, banana pigeons, forest pigeons, small long-tailed pigeons, golden pigeons, white-crowned pigeons, copper-winged pigeons, crested pigeons, rock pigeons and chestnut-winged pigeons.
Tooth-billed pigeon subfamily
Only 1 belongs to 1 species, that is, the mandible of the tooth dove has two "teeth". Only distributed in three Pacific islands such as Samoa. Due to human activities, carnivores such as cats and dogs were introduced, leading to extinction. Mainly distributed in the eastern world. Including 10 genus: brown turtle, green turtle, fruit turtle, pine turtle, blue turtle, royal turtle, New Zealand turtle, Sura turtle and mountain turtle. There are 3 genera 1 1 species in China, most of which are distributed in southwest tropical areas. Feathers are gorgeous, mostly rare. Among them, black-headed fruit pigeons, all species of Oryza and all species of Oryza are second-class protected animals in China.
Lonely pigeon family
Including 2 genera and 3 species of extinct large terrestrial birds: dodo (Mauritius solitary pigeon) (extinct in 168 1), reunion solitary pigeon (extinct in 1746) and Rodriguez solitary pigeon (extinct in about 1790). The dodo is native to mauritius island, Africa, and its name comes from its English name. It is very big and can weigh up to 23 kilograms. It is too heavy to fly. Before humans arrived in mauritius island, dodos had no natural enemies, so they had no protection ability. After the invasion of European colonists, they killed indiscriminately; At the same time, cats, dogs, mice and other animals brought by human beings have also caused a devastating blow to the dodo. It took only 70 years for the Orphanidae family to be discovered by human beings and completely extinct.
There are 309 species of pigeon family, belonging to 4 1 genus. There are 8 genera, 3 1 species in China. There are 3 1 species in China, and I will make records later.

There are 309 species in the world.
Among them, the mourning pigeon of Suodao died out in the wild in 1972. Most of the existing individuals are owned by American and German breeders, but unfortunately most of them are descendants of mourning pigeons, and the number of pure breeds is very small. On June 30th, 2006, 10, a pigeon named Arnie was successfully bred in London Zoo, England, which kept the pigeon from becoming extinct. In addition, the DNA of the mourning pigeon in Suodao has been collected and frozen in the frozen ark project created in Britain.
(The Frozen Ark Project will preserve the genetic samples of endangered animals (excluding living animals) collected from all over the world, so that scientists can use these DNA samples to clone extinct organisms in the future. At present, museums, zoos and biological laboratories in many countries have joined the frozen ark project. )

North American passenger pigeon, commonly known as passenger pigeon, is a terrestrial bird under the pigeon family. It is a kind of pigeon that especially likes to travel, and it is the most famous representative of extinct birds in modern times. When American pioneers were driving a carriage in the wilderness, they met a group of pigeons who blocked the sun for several hours, hence the name pigeons.
North American passenger pigeons mainly eat berries, nuts, seeds and invertebrates. Travelling pigeons live in a typical group, and each group can reach more than 1 100 million. Spotted-tailed pigeons, which live in the mountains of the western United States, are one of the closest geographical relations among traveling pigeons.
There used to be as many as 5 billion traveling pigeons living in the United States. When they fly in groups, the largest bird group covers an area of 65438 0.6 km, up to 500 km. It takes several days to cross an area. Due to the constant hunting, Newcastle disease of birds and the fact that only one egg is laid at a time, the number of traveling pigeons gradually decreased until 19 14 September 1.
It took only 100 years from the discovery of 5 billion pigeons to the shooting of the last one in 1900. 19 14 In Cincinnati Zoo, the last captive North American passenger pigeon died of aging, which declared that this once huge species had been completely extinct.
The dodo, also known as the Mauritius orphan, is a flightless bird, which is only found on Mauritius Island in the Indian Ocean. Only 70 years after being discovered by humans, this bird was completely extinct because of human hunting and human activities. It is the most famous extinct animal besides dinosaurs. It is also the only extinct bird in Mauritius designated as the national bird.
