A Pocket Guide to Pigeon Watching: Getting to Know the World's Most Misunderstood Bird

Serious book about pigeons, told with a sense of humor and well illustrated.

This book is really awesome. I run a pigeon museum that has very informative, yet very specific books in its shop. Where this one compares, is how it’s really written for anyone. You could know nothing, or a lot about pigeons and still enjoy it. The illustrations are awesome. I love the sections explaining what to do if you find a pigeons with and ID Band. Just all around super informative and easy to read.

I smile just seeing it.

Pure delight. A mix of science and art.

I love this cute Pocket Guide To Pigeon Watching. When I was a toddler, I began watching pigeons and was and still interested in their behavior. I must have gotten too close to them one time or more, because I picked up histoplasmosis, which is spread by breathing the spores of a fungus that can be found in their droppings. I have scars on the back of my eyes to prove it. And I remember my father putting strong fencing in the places on the outside of our house where they had nest. He waited until they left the nest, cleaned it out and put in the fencing. I can remember his swearing while he did it. Well, it was a huge undertaking, our side of the duplex had so many places that were perfect for pigeon homes, lots of corners with roof coverings.After he did that to our house, the pigeons left us. Then robins, sparrows, cardinals and meadowlarks plus a few red-tailed hawks decided on the property lines.This guide is packed with useful and sometimes quirky information. You will know what to do it you find an injured or a pet pigeon, some history of pigeon palaces, how their anatomy is weird, and that they can determine which tumor is benign or malignant. Look it up, it is a great study.I have to be careful and not tell you too much, you have got to read this book for your education and entertainment.

This book is a LOT of fun. You’ll want to read it on a device where you can really appreciate the delightful pigeon artwork (or get a print version) ~ not a b&w kindle. Soooo…If Rosemary is taking requests, I’d love to see her take on starlings, gulls, or vultures. : )

Wonderful work, beautiful illustrations. Lively. Good for all ages. Ideal for parents homeschooling children.Pigeons thrive despite the odds. Adversity brings strength. Exercising Compassion toward birds enhances and heals our shared society ❤Here's why I chose 4/5 stars: the sidebars are difficult to read for an older guy like me. Black letters on light backgrounds would be perfect 5/5.

I absolutely adore this book. It is so cute and has amazing information to help people rethink our misunderstood pigeon friends.100000 / 10
