The Hidden Suffering of Pigeons: How to Recognise and Rescue Pigeons in Distress, and Advocate for Their Rights
Often misunderstood and overlooked, pigeons can suffer in silence in our shared environments. This presentation will give you the knowledge and confidence to recognise when a pigeon is in distress and how to safely step in.
You'll learn how to assess rescue situations—from birds trapped behind netting or inside buildings to those suffering from stringfoot and other injuries. Practical guidance will help you respond effectively and with compassion.
We’ll also examine how the harmful “pest” narrative discourages rescue efforts, and explore how you can advocate for pigeons and shift public perception in their favour.
With Sam from Advocacy for Pigeons

Lomens
Lomens are a 5-piece alternative rock band from West Yorkshire, channeling the swing between light and dark into a sound that’s explosive, gritty, and emotionally raw. Their music swings like a pendulum, heavy yet melodic, high-energy yet introspective, blending soaring hooks, spacey textures, and lyrics that dive deep beneath the surface.
Their first three singles Twisted Alive, The Art of Acceptance, and Pieces (Of Me) are all out now and available on all major streaming platforms. These songs are a powerful reflection on personal struggles and harsh self-truths, pairing emotional depth with sonic uplift—a contrast that defines the band’s identity.
Lomens is a band brimming with raw honesty, big energy, and hard-hitting lyrics!
Their newest single is now out https://open.spotify.com/track/2xlZs4JerZoas2RWG6lZjd?si=63c79bc9364c436f
