The New York Bird Club and pigeon fans are gearing up for the National Pigeon Day celebration on Saturday, June 13—and they want New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg. to make an official proclamation.
A few quick facts: Pigeons are courageous and intelligent birds who mate for life, and both parents tend to their young. They are hardy birds—adept at dodging pedestrians, taxis, and the occasional hawk. No wonder so many humans are content to sit back and watch them during their lunch hours.
Please ask Mayor Bloomberg to officially declare this upcoming June 13 "National Pigeon Day." And if you'll be celebrating at Pilgrim Hill in NYC's Central Park, look for me. I'll be wearing my Pige Patrol T-shirt.

Pigeons are peaceful, smart and I've seen many homeless people who are comforted by them. Humans who abuse harmless pigeons are moral morons.

I race pigeons and truly love them, I wish others could see them the way I do.

NYC has announced that 2,000 Canada Geese will be exterminated while they are in their molting season and unable to fly. They will be killed by gassing and the killing will begin immediately. Please contact Mayor Bloomberg and ask him to stop the killing and save the geese,.

Yay! Pigeons are my favourite animals! I love them so much and think they are adorable. I spend a lot of money every week to buy pigeon food and I feed about 16 wood pigeons :P I hate that they have such a bad reputation like people thinking they are dirty and calling them flying rats. I will definitely be celebrating this holiday :D x
