When does pigeon season start and end?
First pigeons like you find in the cities are not native species, they are rock doves that were brought here by early Europeans to be cage raised for food. As expected, many escaped and lived free and mostly eat from the crumbs of man. As nonnative specie's, many states do not protect pigeons; similarly to wild boar.
If you mean wild doves, such as mourning doves these are hunted under federal law as a migrating game bird. Seasons vary from year to year and are set by the fed in mid-summer; but usually the season is around September.
In the USA we live under a dual legal system; so states are free to limit the season on any game animal to less than the season set by the feds. Some states, like New York, consider the mourning dove a song bird and therefor have a closed, no hunting, season on them.
Check with your local state game agency to be sure. All post offices have the Federal regulations and seasons and will gladly give you a copy.

Pigeons do not make milk. Pigeons are birds, and birds do not provide milk for their young. Some birds are fed on special secretions from the parent birds' crop, and these may even be called crop milk, but it is not milk in the true "mammalian" sense of the word. It is not produced in mammary glands.
The production of the milk is controlled by the same hormone that begins milk production in mammals, prolactin, which is controlled by the pituitary gland. The lining of the crop sloughs off fluid-filled cells containing more fat and protein than cows' milk, as well as minerals and antibodies, forming a nutritious milk-like substance known as crop milk. Both males and females produce this liquid.
Australian researchers have recently discovered that pigeon milk offers similar nutrients to that found in mammals' milk. During the breeding season, instead of storing food, the pigeons' crop is stimulated by hormones to take on a 'lactating' role. Interestingly, in a study where pigeon milk was fed to chickens, the growth rate of the baby chicks increased by 38%.
Birds which feed their young with "crop milk" include pigeons, doves and flamingos.
