The life span of a pigeon varies greatly based on a number of different natural factors. Pigeons that are kept in captivity can live up to 15 years. Feral pigeons in the wild can live anywhere from 3-5 years.
Pigeons are able to live as long a they do because of how dependent they are on humans. Pigeons are found in highly populated urban areas because of the buildings that they are able to build their nests on as well as the areas to get food.| Back |
