In the case where it wouldn't be clear on the pigeon being referred to if I
just said "pigeon", I would likely refer to it as *C. livia* ("see -
livia"), or even just *livia*.
Gerald's request included "zoologists from other places", so that normally
eliminates the use of common names.

If you are at meeting with zoologists from other places with different<br>
species and are talking informally about Columba livia, what would you<br>
call them?<br>

Thanks<br>
