Is it normal to give up fighting and begin training the pigeons?

My house and backyard is riddled with pigeons. I have been fighting these birds for almost a year now. I decided since they try to fly inside my house whenever I open my door anyways that they do not fear me in the slightest. I have decided to start domesticating some of them..maybe even into carrier pigeons. Is this a normal reaction to "giving up the fight?" How does one go about domesticating a standard pigeon? The majority of these birds were born in my backyard and in crevices of parts of my house.
