Pigeons are birds, they lay eggs, they do not get pregnant. It takes about 21 to28 days for pigeon eggs to hatch. Once the male pigeon fertilizes the egg in the female pigeon, an egg will be laid within 12 hours or less.

In Tasmania, only 35% of nests are used in subsequent years. Between 3-4 eggs are laid at an interval of 24 hours, occasionally at least 48 hours for the last egg in a clutch. The incubation period is 28-30 days but addled eggs have been incubated for 55-62 days. Young leave the nest almost immediately after hatching, and some young leave before all eggs have hatched. They are guarded by both parents when small and the young may scatter over as much as 200 m if disturbed, with each adult guarding the chicks closet to it. The young follow parents but find their own food. Young usually fledge at 6-7 weeks but may vary from 5-8 weeks. Young are independent at about 8-10 months at an average of 40 weeks. Many families stay together after the young can fly. Birds can breed in their first year.

Oviparous animals with no gestation period?

There are many fish and amphibians for which the female lays soft-shelled unfertilized eggs, which the male then fertilizes. Because the fertilized eggs were never inside the female's body, one might say that there was no gestation period. However, all animals that have internal fertilization have some length of gestation period. For most animals, the gestation period is much shorter than the time between laying the eggs and the eggs hatching: for example, a chicken egg has a gestation period of one day, but the eggs do not hatch until 24 days after being laid. Monotreme mammals (platypuses and echidnas) have longer gestation periods and proportionally shorter distances between the laying of the eggs and the eggs hatching.
