The pigeon is a versatile and widespread species of columbid belonging to the domain Eukaryota, kingdom Animalia, phylum Chordata, class Aves, order Columbiformes, family Columbidae, genus Columba, and species C. livia. Recognized for its adaptability to diverse environments, it has established a close association with human settlements.

### Scientific name

The genus (Columba) encompasses various species of columbids, and the specific epithet (livia) is derived from the Latin word for "bluish" or "livid," describing its plumage. The nomenclature reflects both the scientific and historic aspects of pigeon taxonomy.

### Range

Pigeons are native to regions around seashores in Africa, Europe, and Asia. However, their association with human settlements has led to a global distribution, and they are now found in urban and rural areas across the world.

### Habitat

Known for their adaptability, pigeons can thrive in a variety of habitats. While their natural nesting sites include cliffs and rocky ledges, they have seamlessly integrated into urban environments, making use of buildings and structures for roosting and nesting.

### Diet

Pigeons are omnivorous birds with a diverse diet. Their natural food includes seeds, grains, and fruits, but in urban areas, they readily consume human-associated food scraps. Their ability to forage for a wide range of food items contributes to their success in various environments.

### Status

As of the latest assessment, the pigeon is classified as Least Concern (LC) on the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List of Threatened Species. This status indicates that it is not facing immediate threats of extinction. The adaptability of pigeons to human-altered environments has contributed to their stable population.

## Trivia

* Otis turns into a duck because he is raised by ducks. Ironically, he is anatidaephobic throughout the original series because they did a lot of evil doings before migrating south in the winter. It should be noted he is raised by domestic ducks, which are incapable of flight compared to their ancestors, mallards, which are capable of flying. This means Otis and his adopted family can't fly.
* Otis' age has been changed due to his retirement as a teenager. This means that in the episode he debuted, he would be nine years old.
* Due to the fact that Otis is raised by ducks, it is possible that his biological parents died. Him being raised by ducks is similar to Tarzan being raised by gorillas in Tarzan.
