My graduate thesis gave me the opportunity to explore how feral urban pigeons experience the city of Toronto. I recorded how they navigate the grey area between pests and pets, and how humans take actions that both help and harm them. As part of my project, I did site visits and interviews with people who choose to help pigeons in need. This pigeon "Spirit", faced multiple anthropogenic harms such as abandonment and a car strike but now experiences life-long care with a rehabilitator.
