‏ Leviticus 1:14

14But if the oblation of a holocaust to the Lord is of birds, either of turtledoves, or young pigeons,
1:14A dove is another name for a pigeon. Turtledoves are white pigeons. Young pigeons are generally white, no matter what color they will have as adults. So this verse calls for white birds, symbolizing purity.(Conte)
