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. However, one Nottingham organisation has seen the beauty in these much-maligned creatures and is trying to make the world a better place, one rescued pigeon at a time.
