I’ve had pigeons on my mind all week. Not just as birds, but as symbols. Urban wildlife. Survivors. Creatures we share space with, but rarely value.
Pigeons are everywhere, and yet somehow invisible — or worse, despised. But why? Why do so many people dislike them? Is it because they thrive in human cities? Because they’re common, messy, uninvited? Or is it something deeper — a discomfort with the idea that we aren’t the only species making a life here?
So here’s my question: what would it take to change your mind about pigeons?
