I used a pigeon trap. Had a few farmers that would let me put them in there barns. No need to clip wings. If you cross there wings behind them they cannot fly away. If you want them to fly a short distance, take a small 6"x6" square piece of card board, put a small hole in the center and tie foot long piece of string to it and the other end to the leg of the pigeon. It will act as a kite and the bird will get tired as it Flys and land a short distance away.
