Can you sell the pigeons if you capture them??? meaning, is there a market for them in your area?
I was going to suggest what Hokum Coco stated above. I just ran across this thread now. That is the easiest way. Of course there are other ways, like at night in the dark, but do get challenging, maneuvering among some high hard to reach spots. Then you are doing only one or two each time. Could be labor and time intensive.
If you can sell them, construct a temp aviary in section of your yard. Frame out with light lumber lats and chicken wire. Provide a small (narrow) doorway to enter, and plenty of roost space from branches. Tarp cover top to keep most weather out.
