Pigeons may have an undeserved bad reputation, but there is far more to them than you might think.
Starting their journey as rock doves living on cliffs, they have found their way onto every continent except Antartica. Thanks to us and our buildings, they have adapted extremely well to city life. Perhaps above all creatures, they are a familiar character of urban nature, bringing life and activity to otherwise bare streets. More than this, they have been war heroes, and taught to detect cancer.
They are unique, entertaining, and surprisingly beautiful, if you care to pay attention. Pass the time on a bus journey or amuse yourself in the city with our pigeon bingo card, and get to know these city characters.
