==Summary==
The pigeon is a part of the family Columbidae, being an omnivorus, bulky bird widespread in all places except Antarctica and the Sahara desert. They typically nest at buildings or rocky cliffs and can be found in urban areas, farmlands, and the aforementioned rocky cliffs.Pigeon - Incredible Facts, Pictures - A-Z Animals (Ar) There are an estimated 400 million pigeons across the world and 250 species of pigeons. Doves are smaller pigeons in layman's terms and they're scientifically similar as pigeons.
Pigeons are a descendant of the velociraptor. Jurassic dinosaurs' smaller descendants eventually evolve into multiple species, including the first known pigeons 23 million years ago.

*Temperature Manipulation
**Extreme Cold (Has adaptations against cold temperatures in the winter that keep them warm and dryAre Pest Pigeons a Problem in Winter? - Allstate Pest Control (Ar))
**Extreme Heat (Smaller animals like pigeons have a higher surface-to-mass ratio and internal temperature range than normal people. A pigeons' core temperature is around 108 oF, making them unbothered by normal heatwavesDo squirrels and pigeons get all sweaty in hot weather? (Ar)The reference here didn't specify the type of degree they were using (oF or oC), but it did imply that they were using oF by the statement of them saying that a human's core temperature should be around 97 degrees.)</tabber>

Weaknesses: Physically small in comparison to other animals and are easy targets for predators like (but not limited to) birds of prey and snakes.
