IIRC, in the mid to late 1950s, there were ads touting raising pigeons as a way to make money. They ran in the same section as the ones with the guy getting sand kicked in his face for bodybuilding.

About the time pigeon was going out of fashion.

People still raise them but not so much for food as for show birds.

They can have remarkable plumage.
