Our Mission
New York City wouldn’t be New York without its pigeons. They share our sidewalks, our train stations, our neighborhoods, and our stories. PigeonFriends.ny is dedicated to celebrating these remarkable birds and giving New Yorkers a place to learn, share, and collaborate on ways to help them thrive safely in our city.
Here you’ll find practical guidance on humane feeding, discussions on pigeon health, explorations of urban ecology, and community-driven ideas for solving everyday challenges—from cleaner public spaces to smarter coexistence strategies. Whether you’re a lifelong pigeon lover or simply curious about the birds that make NYC unique, you’re in the right place.
Join us in reimagining what it means to live with our city’s most iconic wildlife.
