    Keep them as pets. One of my friend used to have pet pigeons.

    Must be messed up living with humans when you were biologically designed to trust them (a bit like dogs), but most of them dislike you or worse.

    Poor little birbs live hard lives as is, cities are filled with artificial dangers (food insecurity, string foot, cats, shrinking safe living/perching spaces, etc).
