Familia in 344 speciebus in 49 genera digestis consistit. Tredecim ex speciebus exstinctae sunt.[1]

Columbidae nidos praetenues faciunt, saepe ramulis alioque detritu utentes, quem in ramis arborum, in proiecturis, vel in solo ponere solent, secundum species. Unum vel (plerumque) duo ova semel pariunt, amboque parentes pullos alunt, qui nidum post dies a 25 ad 32 reliquunt. Pulli volare possunt ante quinque hebdomades nati.[2] Plurimarum avium dissimiles, ambo sexus lac ingluviei ad iuvenes alendos faciunt.

Typus familiae est genus Columba.[3]
