It can be accepted if the animal lives freely around your home and garden,Otherwise if he lives in a cage, It should be kept opened always, so that animal can fly away and comeback when it needs.. However you have to get the decision whether it makes a wrong effect towards the animal or not,if it's you have to give up that, We can't see the effects on the pigeon you keep by making it a home growing animal..If you see, it losses advantages living in natural environment are more than it gains by home growing, you have to release it,like that you have to think and decide,you are the best one to decide that as you can see in it better than us..Simply if it gets bad effects more than good ones by keeping at home,except natural environment let it go back to natural environment

The way you have explained it, I feel that, if the bird is free to roam then no amount of violence is done on the bird, so if it is really that important for your welbeing, it is fine. You can keep it. This is definitely not a slavery and there are no doctorines against keeping homing pegions.
But there is following problem with domasticating exotic animals.
You will be buying those birds somewhere probable a pet shop, that pet shop owner will be getting them from the wild or may be breeding them. It encourages their business. Along with the homing pegions they also deal with other exotic species which are seriously not meant for human homes. This disturbs natural eco-systems. My friend once had a rabbit in his house, but that rabbit was some fox's dinner. This is disturbance in the eco-system. I am not saying the world will crash with your buying the pegion, but in a way you end up encouraging that entire business.
Some fools, when they will see your pegions wont be as thoughtful as you are. They will search on internet and buy tropical exotic species. Just go on NatGeo and look for yourself the nuisance of animal smuggling.
If its for the love of animals as you said, if I were you join the conservation efforts. You go save their home rather than bringing them to your home.
