Just so, do pigeons give live birth?
Pigeons don't have babies. New pigeons grow inside of old pigeons until they explodes out of them. This sound logic explains why you never see pigeon nests, eggs, or babies.
how do pigeons make babies? Most birds, including pigeons, mate using a “cloacal kiss,” in which the male mounts the female and touches his cloaca to hers, transferring sperm. The female then stores the sperm inside her reproductive tract until an egg is released from the ovary. The egg is fertilized before the shell is formed.
Then, why do you never see baby pigeons?
Rest assured, baby pigeons, or squabs, do exist—and there's a good reason you're not seeing them. The other reason why squabs are rarely seen is because of how long they stay in the nest—for about a month to six weeks, “until they are effectively an adult size,” Walcott says.
What do pigeons feed their babies?
Birds That Produce Crop Milk All pigeons and doves feed their young crop milk. For these species, the milk contains sloughed off, liquid-filled cells from the inside of the parents' crop.
