Pocket Guide to Pigeon Watching: Getting to Know the World’s Most Misunderstood Bird, Rosemary Mosco

A charming little non-fiction book about pigeons, written and illustrated by the person behind the fabulous Bird & Moon comics. The writing is a bit on the simplistic side, but that's understandable since it's written to a pretty broad audience, and the art is super charming, plus it definitely succeeded at making me want to pay more attention to pigeons! Unfortunately my city is actually remarkably low on pigeons to look at :( Genuinely cannot remember the last time I saw a pigeon from close enough to see any details on it.

You have said the magic word "pigeon" and so I must share with you the name of the world's foremost feral pigeon expert: Daniel Haag-Wackernagel (pronounced "hog walker noggle").

More seriously, this book sounds cool! I should search it out.
