The order Columbiformes includes two families of birds: the Raphidae, to which the extinct Dodo and Rodrigues Solitaires belonged, and the Columbidae, which includes the very widespread and successful doves and pigeons.

The Pteroclidae (sandgrouse), formerly included in this order, are now treated separately in the order Pteroclidiformes.

• Order Columbiformes
