Description

Pigeon People is a New York pigeon rescue, advocacy, and educational group with national outreach that uses legal, peaceful, respectful methods to change how people understand and treat pigeons.

We're against population control and believe that euthanasia means mercy killing, not a substitute for responsibility or the love and care that we share with animals.

Pigeons don’t get bird flu or west Nile virus and are as unlikely to give people disease as any other birds.

However, incorrect beliefs made up a half century ago are not contradicted often by facts. Teaching is our job.

The myths make rescuing pigeons difficult and lead to cruelty. If people realized that pigeons are birds like any others as well as friendly, harmless participants in our urban life, attitudes would change.

We campaign against hunting (especially canned hunting), trapping, poisoning, shooting, and netting pigeons and against laws that keep us from feeding them or that mandate extermination.

If you want to keep pigeons off a building, killing simply frees roosting areas and invites new pigeons. The most effective methods are also the kindest and cheapest - mesh, wire coils, plastic spikes, and sloping, slick surfaces.

We do bird rescue and advise rescuers mainly in the Northeast, sometimes in other parts of the US and in Canada, Europe, and Israel.

Do you need help for a rescue? Do you want to help us protect pigeons?

Sincere, courteous, honest pigeon lovers are welcome to join us at
