The common Chinese word for a 'pigeon' or 'dove', especially the domesticated variety, is 鸽子 , also known as the 鹁鸽 . Less commonly found names are 拙鸟 'clumsy bird' and 辘轳 . The wood-pigeons are known as 鹁鸪 .
An older, more traditional name now mostly confined to the written language is 鸠 .
The carrier pigeon is known as 信鸽 'letter/message pigeon'. (Sometimes also 传信鸽 'relay message pigeon', 飞奴 'flying servant' - literary).
Ornithological naming
Naturalists use the word 鸽 for members of the genus Columba. Pigeons and doves in the wild are called 鸠 . Divided up according to genus, the names of doves and pigeons are as follows (in the interest of consistency, 鸽 is glossed as 'pigeon', 鸠 as 'dove'):
Columba | 鸽 'pigeon' |
Columba (wood pigeons) | 林鸽 'wood pigeon' |
Streptopelia (turtle doves, etc.) | 斑鸠 'striped dove' Also collectively known as 鸣鸠 'calling doves' |
Macropygia (cuckoo doves) | 鹃鸠 'cuckoo-dove' |
Treron (green pigeons) | 绿鸠 'green-dove' |
Ducula (imperial pigeons) | 皇鸠 'emperor dove' |
