Fact: Pigeons are amazing, and until recently, humans adored them. We’ve kept them as pets, held pigeon beauty contests, raced them, used them to carry messages over battlefields, harvested their poop to fertilize our crops―and cooked them in gourmet dishes. Now, with The Pocket Guide to Pigeon Watching, readers can rediscover the wonder. Equal parts illustrated field guide and quirky history, it covers behavior: Why they coo; how they flock; how they preen, kiss, and mate (monogamously); and how they raise their young (on chunky pigeon milk). Anatomy and identification, from Birmingham Roller to the American Giant Runt to the Scandaroon. Birder issues, like what to do if you find a baby pigeon stranded in the park. And our lively shared story together, including all the things we’ve taught them―Ping-Pong, for example. “Rats with wings?” Think again. Pigeons coo, peck and nest all over the world, yet most of us treat them with indifference or disdain. So Rosemary Mosco, a bird-lover, science communicator, writer, and cartoonist (and co-author of The Atlas Obscura Explorer’s Guide for the World’s Most Adventurous Kid) is here to give the pigeon's image a makeover, and to help every town- and city-dweller get closer to nature by discovering the joys of birding through pigeon-watching.

I purchased this as a bit of a joke gift for her but actually, having had a look through it before wrapping its really blooming great! The book is really informative and I've actually found out things I never knew about those pesky pigeons that seem to be an endless nuisance to most people. Who knew they were such clever interesting birds. I can now honestly say the pigeon is an underrated bird! The book had lots of pics included to support information provided and was really well presented overall. I'd happily purchase this again and would recommend for any pigeon lover ## Frequently Bought Together - A Pocket Guide to Pigeon Watching: Getting to Know the World's Most Misunderstood Bird - Genuine Fred PECKISH, Pigeon Magnetic Bag Clips, Set of 4, Chip Clips, Bag Clips for Food, or for use on the fridge - HAPPYPOP Funny Pigeon Socks for Women - Novelty Bird Gifts for Men, Pigeon Bird Socks for Teen Girls Boys --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.pa/products/311864248-a-pocket-guide-to-pigeon-watching-getting-to-know-worlds](https://www.desertcart.com.pa/products/311864248-a-pocket-guide-to-pigeon-watching-getting-to-know-worlds) --- *Product available on Desertcart Panama* *Store origin: PA* *Last updated: 2026-10-18*
