68. The unique title texts are really fun. But I strongly disagree that "chipmunks are squirrels".

This is what I'm saying. Chipmunks are not squirrels. I will do my best on this hill.

Similarly, it insisted to me that a pigeon is the same thing as a mourning dove. Not true! But your case is even more egregious.

"pigeon" and "dove" are both words for the same family of birds. The bird most people think of with the word "pigeon" is the rock dove (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rock_dove) or domesticated / feral variants of it.

  Yep, but importantly "pigeon" and "dove" are not exactly interchangeable words, there is just no consensus for which is which.

  Toads and frogs are another pair like this, where there is no clear distinction
