Except as otherwise provided, it shall be unlawful for any person to keep any pigeons within the city unless they are securely housed or cooped so as to prevent them going at large; however, pigeons bearing a seamless leg band, issued by a recognized association of pigeon fanciers, may be released for exercise, performance or the commencement of races, within the corporate limits of the city, upon the condition that the owner or person who has possession of such pigeons shall not permit them to alight upon buildings or property of others.
