Pidgeona

Pidgeona is a genus of birds within the family Columbidae, commonly known as pigeons. The genus includes several species, with the most well-known being the Rock Pigeon (Columba livia). Pidgeona species are known for their adaptability and widespread distribution, inhabiting a variety of environments including urban areas, forests, and grasslands. They are generally small to medium-sized birds, with a rounded body shape and a short tail. Pidgeona birds are omnivorous, feeding on a diet that includes seeds, fruits, and insects. They are also known for their cooing calls, which are often used for communication within the flock. Pidgeona species are generally considered to be non-migratory, with some species being resident in their habitats year-round. They are often kept as pets or for sport in pigeon racing. The genus Pidgeona was first described by the French naturalist Mathurin Jacques Brisson in 1760.
