Equal parts field guide and quirky history, it covers behavior: Why they coo; how they flock; how they preen, kiss, and mate (monogamously); and how they raise their young (on chunky pigeon milk).

Some are altruistic, helping to rear young that are not their own. Some males perform mating dances together.
