While many birds are fed in winter with seeds and fatballs, pigeons are often excluded, kicked and chased away. This is cruel. Pigeons need food too!
Brave pigeons saved thousands of lives in wartime and won 32 Dickin Medals!
Let’s put in a good word for pigeons. They are gentle and intelligent. Their guano makes fine garden fertiliser.
Our Petition to Protect pigeons is below.
Please -
- Ask Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, to enforce the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981, which “protects” all wild birds, including pigeons, from abuse.
The Rt Hon Rishi Sunak MP, Prime Minister
10 Downing Street. London SW1A 2AA.
If the Act were enforced, everyone would know where they stand, and there wouldn’t be any doubt about whether is OK to let pigeons be kicked, chased and stamped on.
- Ask your MP to call for a debate in Parliament about pigeon abuse.
- Contact HM The King. Explain that women who defend pigeons are threatened. The Queen Consort has a particular interest in protecting women.
His Majesty The King
Buckingham Palace, London SW1A 1AA
- Ask the Department for Education to teach children to be kind to pigeons. This should be on the National Curriculum.

- Ask the Royal Foundation Centre for Early Childhood, founded by Prince William and Kate, to teach children to respect pigeons. What we teach children at an early age stays with them for life.

“In Defence of Pigeons”, by Dr Portugal, describes the plight of pigeons today - a result of the media campaign against them, which began in 2001. Hitherto, pigeons had been loved as heroes and lifesavers of war.

Contact anyone with the power to stop this cruelty. Pigeon abuse is Speciesism. It should not be happening in our Nation Of Animal Lovers.
Thank you.
