City Pigeons: Misunderstood Neighbours, Not Urban Pests

City pigeons are often dismissed as dirty, unintelligent, or simply “rats with wings.” But how much of what we believe about these birds is actually true?

Join us for this engaging online presentation as we explore the fascinating world of city pigeons and challenge some of the most common misconceptions surrounding them. We’ll discover their remarkable intelligence, complex social behaviour, unique history alongside humans, and examine the facts behind common health-related myths.

The session will also explore why pigeons are so closely tied to human society, how our actions have shaped their lives in modern cities, and what compassionate, practical approaches can help people and pigeons coexist more harmoniously.

Whether you’re curious about urban wildlife, interested in animal behaviour, or simply looking to see a familiar city bird from a new perspective, this talk will offer fresh insights and plenty of thought-provoking discussion.
