Good question. I found the episode script and read the whole scene. It's clearly meant to be a joke - and Friends had a lot of corny jokes - but I don't get it. I haven't seen the episode, so maybe there's some crucial visual context missing. My best guess is that Chandler is referring to his "rule" about waiting to call women after a date, but I don't get the pigeon connection either.

There is no connection. They are talking about Rachel and then she walks in, so Chandler pretends to be continuing a conversation about something totally different. (from a comment by Minty)

And it's funny because the process of how a bill becomes a law is not something the friends would usually talk about. It's a very mundane thing to choose to cover up a prior conversation, which is funny.
