I think you'll find that, unless things have changed greatly in this world
since last I looked, pigeons are poultry.

They would be if they were being bred for the table or for eggs.
Poultry are domestic, farmyard or game birds. Pigeons are a variety of
dove and when kept in captivity it is usually for racing purposes.
