Wannabe Pigeon Owner needs help

[15littlem]

My great aunt and uncle have a very nice homing pigeon at their house. My brother and I really want it. My parents are not exactly gung-ho about the whole idea, and only focus on the negatives of having pigeons. Could you PLEASE give some argument points to use in order to boost our ability to get some. Any help would be accepted.
Thanks

I think that thats between you and your parents but I have known many people that really enjoy their pigeons. It keeps you with a good responsibility.

They're beautiful birds. They never smell, ever. they are outside, so they wouldn't smell even if they did. They're the cheapest bird out there to feed. Money can be made in pigeon showing. They make great pets and good companions, they can provide comfort for up to 25 years!

AND IF YOU DIDN'T WANT TO SHOW THEM YOU COULD MAKE MONEY SELLING THE SQUABS. THEY ARE REALLY EASY TO KEEP, INEXPENSIVE, NEED MINIMAL SPACE, AND SOMEONE CAN LEARN ALLOT OF GOOD LESSONS FROM KEEPING/RAISING LIVE ANIMALS.

They are smaller than a pony and make much less mess!
