A correction for Italian.

Piccioni is plural, while Piccione is singular (masculine)

• il Piccione -> i Piccioni

other synonymouses or birds of the same family :

• il Colombo - > i Colombi
• la Colomba -> le Colombe
• la Tòrtora -> le Tòrtore

While in Sardinian :

• su Piccione -> sos Picciones

other synonymouses or birds of the same family :

• su Culumbu -> sos Culumbos
• sa Culumba -> sas Culumbas
• sa Tùrture -> sas Tùrtures

Piccioni is plural, while Piccione is singular (masculine)

il Piccione -> i Piccioni

It is purely the plural I am interested in.

Wait, so Piccione is not plural (fem.)?

Pigeon in Portuguese is Pombo but to the name the art of pigeon fancying we say Columbofilia and to a pigeon breeder\trainer we call Columbófilo.

No, Piccione is only singular and it's masculine. There is not a plural feminine.

P.S.
I forgot to mention another name used in some Italian dialect :

la Palomba -> le Palombe

it's similar to the same name in Romanian, Spanish, Albanian. All of them derive from Latin "Palumba -> Palumbae"

The opening post has been corrected.

Thank you for your compassion.
