Thu 22 Aug 2019Ah, the common pigeon. We all see them around town, eating our scraps, pooping on our heads, chasing those of us with a more nervous disposition. But how much do we really know about them? People often treat them like pests - sky vermin sent to make our lives dirtier and more full of poo - but they’re so much more than that. Never has a bird been quite so misunderstood.
