Pigeon towers seem to be making a comeback in India (and apparently they were found in ancient Persia too).
I was visiting India last year and came across a colorful tower, about 60 feet tall and teeming with pigeons. There the aim is to provide housing and support for pigeons, and not to use them as a source of food. Many people believe feeding birds is "good karma" and having a pigeon tower allows one to have a ready supply of birds to feed.
