Pigeons: The Fascinating Saga of the World's Most Revered & Reviled
Bird
by: Blechman, Andrew D.
A whimsical and intimate look into the fascinating world of pigeons and
the people they collect. Pigeons have been worshipped as fertility goddesses
and used as crucial communicators in war by every major historical superpower
from ancient Egypt to the United States, saving thousands of lives. Yet,
without just cause, they are reviled today as "rats of the sky."
How did we come to misunderstand one of mankind's most helpful and steadfast
companions? Author Andrew D. Blechman traveled across the United States
and Europe to meet with pigeon fanciers and pigeon haters in a quest to
chronicle the pigeon's transformation from beloved friend to feathered
outlaw. Pigeons captures a Brooklyn man's quest to win the Main Event
(the pigeon world's equivalent of the Kentucky Derby), as well as a pigeon
shoot where entrants pay $150 to shoot live pigeons. Blechman tracks down
Mike Tyson, the nation's most famous pigeon lover, and he sheds light
on a radical "pro-pigeon underground" in New York City. Blechman
tells for the first time the remarkable story behind this seemingly unremarkable
bird. 239 pgs.
