Doves and Pigeons

Victor · 2004-07-27 21:22:59

What is the technical difference between doves and pigeons. Are they merely different breeds of the same bird? There is the image of: Doves = good and Pigeons = bad

As far as I know a dove is a type of pigeon so you could say they are the same. Well I think the reason why pigeons have a bad reputation is because they can carry disease. Maybe the reason why doves have a good reputation is because they are a symbol of peace? (i THINK).
I'm not sure about this.
