Yes, I think all animals can choke on something. Do you think one of your pigeons is choking? Sometimes I've seen one do a side-to-side neck movement that makes me think they have a seed or something stuck. Then I put their water dish in front of them and they usually get a long drink and that solves that.

I've seen mine choke occasionally but they were able to get the offending item out of their throats. I have a friend who raises short-faced pigeons (tiny, almost non-existent beaks) and he lost one when it choked on a piece of corn. I feed my pigeons a mix that contains popcorn, not the big field corn, but once in awhile a few pieces of field corn get mixed in. They don't eat it anyway, but when I see it in the mix I always remove it for fear of someone choking.
