The Pigeon tribe is quite numerous, for to this family belong the Doves as well as the several kinds of Pigeons. Some of this tribe are to be found in al- most every part of the world. Their food is grain, and the seeds of plants. The female lays two eggs, and the young are commonly brother and sister. In the wild state, they generally hatch only once, or twice THE PIGEON. 75 a year, but the tame ones, when well fed, produce their young every month. Both male and female assist in hatching and f...eeding their young. While sitting, they associate in pairs, are very fond of each other; and do not at this time associate with others. They take turns in sitting on the eggs, "and when the female stays away too long, the male goes out in search of her, and drives her home. The first food of the young Pigeon is a soft white substance which is formed in the crops of the parents, and which is thrown up and put into their mouths. During the first few days, this white substance is un- mixed with any thing else ; but after a few days, a little of the food of thq parent bird is given with it.
