They're descended from rock doves which were bred for food - in
dovecotes. Why wouldn't be a good idea to eat them?

What's living, mutated & chemical inside the town pigeon is a bit
of a worry. If they were generally acknowledged as safe to eat,
the streets of London would be overrun with 'Kentucky Fried
Pigeon' shops.

You mean that's not what those restaurants sell?

Live and learn....
