If you are asking 'How does a magician produce a bird from a handkerchief or cloth having shown it to be empty?'

The simple answer is 'sleight of hand' - magicians train themselves to handle and hide things like coins and sprays of flowers etc. to and from hidden pockets in their costumes - this is a learned skill used along with the misdirection of our attention so we don't see what's going on.

In the case of a pigeon or dove these birds can, it appears, to be easily trained to be calm and quiet in a pocket and the body of such a bird is really quite small the largest part being the feathers which can be smoothed down while in a pocket and fluffed up when the bird is revealed with an energetic flourish - usually by making it try (or really) to fly.

So, no magic involved but still a lot of skill.
