Pigeons
THE FASCINATING SAGA OF THE WORLD’S MOST REVERED AND REVILED BIRD
“Consider the pigon. Rather not? Well, reconsider and do yourself a favor by reading Blechman’s charming book.”- The New York Times Book Review
“Worshipped as fertility goddesses and revered as symbols of peace, pigeons have advanced the course of science and civilization and have saved thousands of lives. Yet today they are reviled as rats with wings. How did we come to misunderstand one of mankind’s most steadfast companions? In Pigeons, Andrew D. Blechman travels across the United States and Europe, deep into the weird and wonderful world of fanaticism. From a major race to a contest with thousands of bizarre and beautiful show birds, and from a live pigeon shoot to the nation’s oldest and biggest squab farm, he chronicles the bird’s transformation from beloved friend to feathered outlaw. You’ll never look at a pigeon the same way again.” – Jacket excerpt
