Notes“[Blechman’s] playful exploration of what some city-dwellers refer to as ‘rats with wings’ takes him to some surprising places . . . [and] along the way, he meets a colorful array of pigeon haters, hobbyists, and saviors. . . The book brims with trivia about the importance of pigeons throughout history—as wartime messengers and news distributors, among other roles. It’s almost enough to make you want to go to a park and feed them.” —Nora Krug, The Washington Post
