They are birds of the family Columbidae (order Columbiformes) that was perhaps the first bird tamed by man. Figurines, mosaics, and coins have portrayed the domestic pigeon since at least 4500 bc (Mesopotamia). From Egyptian times the pigeon has been important as food. Its role as messenger has a long history. Today it is an important laboratory animal, especially in endocrinology and genetics. Pigeon-raising is a worldwide hobby, and business as well. National preferences are evident; e.g., in England for birds of highly standardized appearance and bearing, in Germany for birds that have unusual markings, in Belgium for racing pigeons, and in the United States for dual-purpose breeds.
