Yes, but Thunderous aspect only.
Of the animals listed in Storm Tribe as suitable for Divine Companions (page
27) , we get:
Elmal: Hawk
Eurmal: Raven (while nominally a carrion eater, it *could* hunt down
pigeons)
Humakt: Raven
Lhankor Mhy: Owl
O. Thunderous: Hawk
Yinkin and O. Adventurous get Alynxes.
That's pretty much your "anti-pigeon" defenses among "traditional Orlanthi animals". I doubt an ernaldan's sow or an Issaries' mule would work very well...
Oh, and there's Chalana Arroy with Dove. (You can get into a *lot* of trouble if you mistake a Dove for a Pigeon!)
I don't think that the Pigeon spy-ring is a terribly fierce opponent *once it's discovered*. But until then, the plans of the rebellion could get *really* screwed up and they'd not know why or how. Eventually, the players (or the Powers-That-Be, if the players are too thick) will come up with "there's a spy at work" and start looking for him/her/them. Eventually *someone* will notice pigeons acting a little wierd; at this point, the PTB orders the extermination of all pigeons.

It is by my order and for the good of the state that the bearer of this has
done what he has done.
