If it's clear by the context that I'm referring to the local bird, I just
say "pigeon"; since we don't have any other species of pigeon, there should
be no confusion.

How do zoologists refer to the rock pigeon in conversation with other<br>
zoologists? I refer to Columba livia. Not in papers or presentations,<br>
just talking around the lab. For example, scientists usually say<br>
Drosophila instead of fruit fly or Drosophila melanogaster, and<br>
