Promote Coexistence: Sustainable Pigeon Management in Cities


Promote Coexistence: Sustainable Pigeon Management in Cities
The issue
We want responsible housing solutions for urban pigeons, intelligent creatures that have a rich history of being domesticated and then abandoned for human gain.
Concentrating pigeon activities in designated areas helps preserve cleanliness and safety in public spaces and fosters a healthier and more hygienic urban environment, mitigating the issues associated with pigeon droppings and minimizing their impact on buildings and infrastructure.
Pigeons share ancestry with doves and are often underappreciated and possess remarkable intelligence and adaptability. They have a close association with humans dating back to 3000 BC, having been trained and used for various purposes but sadly as our needs changed, many were discarded without proper support or care and left to adjust as our cities evolved.
Offering safe and sustainable nesting areas nurtures a greater sense of empathy and appreciation for the natural world. Recognizing pigeons' intelligence and acknowledging our historical relationship with them helps foster a harmonious coexistence between humans and wildlife, encourages responsible and compassionate interactions, and restores a sense of justice and kindness providing these remarkable birds with the care they deserve.
Together, let us advocate for responsible pigeon housing initiatives, mending the past and creating a brighter future. By providing pigeons with safe nesting spaces, we establish a more harmonious and sustainable urban environment that benefits ourselves and these resilient birds.
