If it was living more country based Im sure it would taste better I use to kill doves when I was a kid and we would eat them for the ---- ya effect the heart too. They tested like bird seed seeing we were killing them in my firends backyard that had like 3 bird feeders.
I couldnt see how it isnt safe look at how the rest of the world eats. Then again I have no idea what those birds carry if anything. Maybe Orange Pigeon?

Re: pigeon meat
The biggest risk is probably from psittacosis, but googling diseases from pigeons comes up with a few of them.

Just try to avoid inhaling dust or feathers when plucking the bird. And avoid coming into direct contact with their droppings. In the UK we eat pigeon as a delicacy, but try to avoid eating pigeons which have lived in the city, due to the filthy conditions they live in. Can't imagine detroit is much better than London for pollution etc. but I have shot and eaten pigeons which live in the country.

Re: pigeon meat
had to zoom in to see it well
fell fast and died fast... no blood came out of this one when i slaughtered it.. well.. only a little... it was a direct shot to the neck so it died pretty quick and didnt even flutter arround
basically hold it from its tail and rip out its feathers slowly back to forward against the grain
moar blood head off
lol eggs
couldnt get pictures of the next step cause my hands were dirty.. didnt wanna get blood on my phone.. basically cut open the *** end and pull the guts out..
be careful not to break this thing open or the pigeon will taste like ---- its on the tip of the knife here
not alot of guts
birdy looks clean to me.. no bugs no works nothing no leisions no wierd colored skin
i got 3 more then called it a day
