Well Brian those old silos cost you money even just standing there. Mine run me about $100 each on the property tax alone. Then those "Cool" pigeons you like are disease carrying, flying rats. They crap in feed bunks and on equipment all over.
Also if the bottom blocks are eat up from the silage acid then they are a hazard. They can fall over real easy. In real cold weather some of the empty ones would freeze crack the bottom blocks and then fall when it warmed up.

The old up right silos where a good idea when they came out but they have been replaced with more modern ways to store silage. I have three of them still in use but I would never build another one. For the cost I can put a concrete pad in and use bags instead. Plus I have a lot more flexibility with the bags.
