Manorial and feudal societies were a much different paradigm. Everything was seen as the purview of the lord - you couldn't build a pond, barn, stable, etc unless it was in service of the manor. In this regard dovecotes are not particularly special.
While there may have been class restrictions in certain times and places, in all likelihood most lords probably sold pigeons at the market and commoners bought them that way.
