YES, its a great idea! 
I got my pigeons when I was about 12 and I’ve had pigeons ever since. They often considered to be dirty, disease-ridden pests, but that is a common misconception. Pigeons get all the same diseases as any other bird. You dont hear anyone complaning about bluebirds or robins though. I think pigeons are a great pet for that age group. You can keep just one or two in a small hutch or cage in the back yard or dozens to hundreds in a small or large pigeon loft. They can be kept just for fun; to watch them fly and release them from distances to return home, or you can compete in pigeon races and shows. Pigeons come in so many different breeds. There are fancy pigeons that look cute, beautiful, or interesting. There are racing pigeons that can fly at speeds of up to 100 mph and can be released hundreds of miles away and trained to return back to your home. There are performing pigeons, rollers and tumblers that do backflips in flight - all of them are amazing birds. Pigeons do not have to be let out every day, though they are happier that way (especially racing pigeons). But it is a great joy to see them circle around high in the air and come down. They also enjoy a bath and being misted with the hose. They readily breed on their own. They can become quite tame, flying up to you and eating from your hand. If you think pigeons arent a good idea for your daughter, please reconsider. They are by far the best pets a person can have.
