(Zo[94]l.) A pigeon of the genus {Columba} and various             related genera. The species are numerous.          Note: The domestic dove, including the varieties called                {fantails}, {tumblers}, {carrier pigeons}, etc., was                derived from the {rock pigeon} ({Columba livia}) of                Europe and Asia; the {turtledove} of Europe, celebrated                for its sweet, plaintive note, is {C. turtur} or                {Turtur vulgaris}; the {ringdove}, the largest of                European species, is {C. palumbus}; the {Carolina                dove}, or {Mourning dove}, is {Zenaidura macroura}; the                {sea dove} is the little auk ({Mergulus alle} or {Alle                alle}). See {Turtledove}, {Ground dove}, and {Rock                pigeon}. The dove is a symbol of innocence, gentleness,                and affection; also, in art and in the Scriptures, the                typical symbol of the Holy Ghost.

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Dove       In their wild state doves generally build their nests in the       clefts of rocks, but when domesticated "dove-cots" are prepared       for them (Cant. 2:14; Jer. 48:28; Isa. 60:8). The dove was       placed on the standards of the Assyrians and Babylonians in       honour, it is supposed, of Semiramis (Jer. 25:38; Vulg.,       "fierceness of the dove;" comp. Jer. 46:16; 50:16). Doves and       turtle-doves were the only birds that could be offered in       sacrifice, as they were clean according to the Mosaic law (Ge.       15:9; Lev. 5:7; 12:6; Luke 2:24). The dove was the harbinger of       peace to Noah (Gen. 8:8, 10). It is often mentioned as the       emblem of purity (Ps. 68:13). It is a symbol of the Holy Spirit       (Gen. 1:2; Matt. 3:16; Mark 1:10; Luke 3:22; John 1:32); also of       tender and devoted affection (Cant. 1:15; 2:14). David in his       distress wished that he had the wings of a dove, that he might       fly away and be at rest (Ps. 55:6-8). There is a species of dove       found at Damascus "whose feathers, all except the wings, are       literally as yellow as gold" (68:13).
