The average age of a pigeon in captivity is from about 8-15 years. Both I and others of my friends have had some which have lived into their early 20's, but usually during the last year or so, the bird is pretty wobbly. There is one record of a bird, Kaiser, a World War I, German war bird which was captured by American forces and brought to the U.S., which lived 35 years, but that has to rank as exceptional.
In the wild, most pigeons likely live to an average of 5-6 years, with most deaths happening as with all wild animals, during the first year or so of life while the youngster is still somewhat naive about predators, other dangers, and where to find food.
