Lion Against A Pigeon

In the Hebrew Bible, doves or young pigeons are acceptable burnt offerings for those who can't afford a more expensive animal. In the book of Genesis, Noah sent out a dove after the great flood in order to determine how far the floodwaters had receded. Dove is also a term of endearment in the Song of Songs and elsewhere.
Jesus's parents sacrifice doves on his behalf after his circumcision.(Luke 2:24) Later the Holy Spirit descended upon Jesus at his baptism like a dove (Matthew 3:16), and subsequently the dove became a common Christian symbol of the Holy Spirit.
In Islam, doves and the pigeon clan in general are respected and favoured because they are believed to have assisted the final prophet of Islam, Muhammad, in distracting his enemies outside the cave of Thaw'r in the great Hijra.
