Rock Pigeon Print

A Rock Pigeon, surrounded by blueberries.

Created as part of a body of work examining the increasing list of endangered birds.

Pigeons are not endangered. They're sort of the opposite.

They're one of a few species of bird that have adapted well to the world they find themselves in. Pigeons have an innate preference for tall, rocky cliffs, so naturally does well in cities where it can make use of buildings. Food is plentiful, and well-fed pigeons are able to reproduce more successfully, meaning their numbers continue to grow!

Our impact isn't null, though. Pigeons often suffer amputations due to synthetic materials, and research has shown that pigeons' plumage is getting darker as they evolve to thrive amongst our metal cliffs.

Available in A4 and A3.
