read as much as you can and remember once you start with the birds it is for 365 days per year commitment and try to get all the family involved otherwise it can cause problems

Do city birds even have the homing ability?

That does seem to be the case.  My work always gets the same group of pigeons in the parking lot.  There's one with a normal wild pigeon body, but a pure white head.  It looks rather neat.
