Summary
A Philadelphia pigeon tour that was supposed to be a one-off is continuing after strong public demand kept drawing participants.
Hannah Michelle Brower and her partner created the tour to soften hostility toward pigeons and recast the birds as part of the city’s everyday life.
The project grew out of Brower’s chance encounter with an injured pigeon while walking to buy groceries, a moment that helped spark the couple’s advocacy.
A few pigeon-poop mishaps have not derailed the outings, which now stand as an unusual effort to change perceptions of one of the city’s least-loved animals.
