About this Event
What is a pigeon tour?
Our pigeon tours are 90-minute walking tours, and are great for all ages. Tourists will get to experience New York from a unique perspective, while locals will get to see a familiar neighborhood in a new way.
On the tour, you'll join the guides on an adventure to understand the behaviors, biology, ecology, and history of our closest bird neighbors. You'll learn all about the dramatic relationship between pigeons and humans, including how pigeons have been maligned and redeemed throughout history. You'll also learn about the roles that leaders in NYC - and especially Bryant Park - played in this history.
We’ll visit an established pigeon flock in and around Bryant Park. You’ll come with an understanding of pigeon behavior and a greater appreciation for these misunderstood birds.
Here's what people have to say about Philly Pigeon Tours on TripAdvisor:
"Warm, engaging, and endlessly informative, they gently challenged many of my preconceived notions about pigeons and kept us giggling!"
"Amazing experience. I have a new love for pigeons."
"very eye opening!!"
Accessibility
Most tours travel about a mile on paved sidewalks. We choose routes that are easy to travel, but construction work may require some detouring. Please email us if you or someone in your party have accessibility needs you'd like to touch base about. We do our best to accomodate all requests.
What to bring
- Pigeon tours are rain-or-shine, so please wear weather-appropriate clothing.
- Bring some water to stay hydrated
- If you want to tip your guide (appreciated but not expected), you might want to bring cash (we also take Venmo)
- If you have your own binoculars, we recommend bringing them. If you don't have binoculars, we will have a few loaner pairs to share among the group.
