About Me: Brian Pigeon
My name is Brian Pigeon, and I am London’s premier blogging pigeon.
Pigeon Blog is my online diary.
A bona fide urban pigeon telling it how it is for the pigeons of London.
You can also follow me on Twitter – @brianpigeon
And, if you’re interested, I got me a Facebook page too – Brian Pigeon.
Make sure you get the right one tho coz the other one’s an impostor.
I’m the one who looks like this:
Cheers

Rock on. This is a sweet blog. I’ve got a couple of cool sites you should check out… coffee dedicated to pigeons http://www.pigeonespresso.com and http://www.shoprma.com/pigeonx/index.htm... the homing pigeons that work for a raft company. It’s a cool setup.

Deniz: You sound like spam – but I’m not sure…
Your pal Bri P
Tourism Guide: You are spam – no question about it – but I left you in coz it’s fucking funny that you think plugging monasteries as tourist objectives might appeal to a pigeon.

P.S. Don’t spam me again – you listening?

hey, you know i have that pigeon baby on my balcony where i just moved and i wonder how much time it takes for a pigeon to raise until it can fly away. because i just can`t wait to enter my balcony and right now it`s not possible because the pigeon is almost getting a heart attack when i`m approaching him/her. let me know if you have an idea. cheers

Hey Brian, I’m pretty certain the tree outside my place is some kind of pigeon hotel – by my reckoning they must have about 30 rooms and satellite TV, the amount of birds flying in and out of it at all hours – perhaps it’s a tree of ill repute?
Fabulous blog by the way – have subscribed immediately!! LJ x

Really enjoy your blog, had not really thought of seeing things through a pigeon’s perspective.
I kinda like ‘em. Some of the finer moments in my life have been witnessed by pigeons.
Have you ever flown across the Abbey Road crosswalk? Or perhaps been to the markets at Notting Hill?
Your admirer from across the Big Pond,

pigeonblog replied:
Patty: Cheers! Yeah. Notting Hill used to be a bit of a hang out back in the day. Great market throwaway to be had every weekend. As for St John’s Wood, I have not just flown it, I chanced it once with a gentle stroll. Seeing as a pigeon using a crossing is not the done thing over here, the cars failed to stop so I didn’t make it all the way. Still glad I gave it a try though!

Philippa replied:
Kirsty told me to check out your blog. Probably because you shat on my head once and even though I only live 50 metres away from where Kirsty works I went in there to have the shit washed off my head. Kirsty wasn’t very amused. I think she thought I should go home and wash my own hair. But she did it. I was traumatised. However good pigeons are at Shakespeare it is still traumatising when they shit on your head. Anyway I think K has forgiven me as she still does my hair years after the shit on head incident but it was only last week that we could talk about pigeons again. Time heals. Watch where you go…

The astounding brilliance of Brian Pigeon has overtaken my mind tonight.
Parrots vs. Pigeons? just finished reading “Fierce Invalids Home From Hot Climates” by Tom Robbins. Give that one a spin if you’re so inclined. (my guess is you would enjoy it)

I have had a beautiful white pigeon make my gazebo his home. He has a tag on his ankle, so we know he belongs to someone. We cannot very near him to see if his tag has a name on it. Can you give me any suggestions on what to do? He seems to be very afraid.

Anything carb based really. Pizza top’s great, without the sweetcorn of course. Can’t be doing with that. Nasty stuff.

Hello Brian,
Love the site.
Summer’s nearly here isn’t it. On Saturday I flew down to the coast and back, got caught in the rain and hail but it was still a great day.

Hello Brian,
Liked the New Yorker pigeon cartoon.
I’m from San Antonio, Texas, live in Cologne, been to London, Manchester, Birmingham, Oxford, Brighton several times, might be moving to Antwerp soon.
I rescue and re-hab feral pigeons. Have helped 20-30 of them recover.
An excellent source of info for your readers, if they need help or advice or want to discuss anything related to pigeons, doves, and even other birds and the occasional other animal in need of rescue, is:
