systemd is the advised way to run background/startup services since Debian Jessie. Just started setting up this project, made it through the README, but a systemd unit for this project should be as simple as:

[Unit]
Description=Pigeon
After=network.target

[Service]
ExecStart=motion -c /home/pi/pigeon/pigeon.conf
Restart=on-abort

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
