Download or read book Homing written by Jon Day and published by John Murray. This book was released on 2019-06-13 with total page 342 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A SPECTATOR BOOK OF THE YEAR Longlisted for the William Hill Sports Book of the Year 'Rich and joyous ...The book's quiet optimism about our ability to change, and to learn to love small things passionately, will stay with me for a long time' Helen Macdonald 'Big-hearted and quietly gripping' Guardian 'I love Jon Day's writing and his birds. A marvellous, soaring account' Olivia Laing '[A] beautiful book about unbeautiful birds' Observer 'This is nature writing at its best' Financial Times 'Awash with historical and literary detail, and moving moments ... Wonderful' Telegraph 'Every page of this beautifully written book brought me pleasure' Charlotte Higgins 'A vivid evocation of a remarkable species and a rich working-class tradition. It's also a charming defence of a much-maligned bird, which will make any reader look at our cooing, waddling, junk-food-loving feathered friends very differently in future' Daily Mail 'Endlessly interesting and dazzlingly erudite, this wonderful book will make a home for itself in your heart' Prospect As a boy, Jon Day was fascinated by pigeons, which he used to rescue from the streets of London. Twenty years later he moved away from the city centre to the suburbs to start a family. But in moving house, he began to lose a sense of what it meant to feel at home. Returning to his childhood obsession with the birds, he built a coop in his garden and joined a local pigeon racing club. Over the next few years, as he made a home with his young family in Leyton, he learned to train and race his pigeons, hoping that they might teach him to feel homed. Having lived closely with humans for tens of thousands of years, pigeons have become powerful symbols of peace and domesticity. But they are also much-maligned, and nowadays most people think of these birds, if they do so at all, as vermin. A book about the overlooked beauty of this species, and about what it means to dwell, Homing delves into the curious world of pigeon fancying, explores the scientific mysteries of animal homing, and traces the cultural, political and philosophical meanings of home. It is a book about the making of home and making for home: a book about why we return.

Download or read book A Pocket Guide to Pigeon Watching written by Rosemary Mosco and published by Hachette UK. This book was released on 2021-10-26 with total page 249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Part field guide, part history, part ornithology primer, and altogether fun. Fact: Pigeons are amazing, and until recently, humans adored them. We’ve kept them as pets, held pigeon beauty contests, raced them, used them to carry messages over battlefields, harvested their poop to fertilize our crops—and cooked them in gourmet dishes. Now, with The Pocket Guide to Pigeon Watching, readers can rediscover the wonder. Equal parts illustrated field guide and quirky history, it covers behavior: Why they coo; how they flock; how they preen, kiss, and mate (monogamously); and how they raise their young (on chunky pigeon milk). Anatomy and identification, from Birmingham Roller to the American Giant Runt to the Scandaroon. Birder issues, like what to do if you find a baby pigeon stranded in the park. And our lively shared story together, including all the things we’ve taught them—Ping-Pong, for example. “Rats with wings?” Think again. Pigeons coo, peck and nest all over the world, yet most of us treat them with indifference or disdain. So Rosemary Mosco, a bird-lover, science communicator, writer, and cartoonist (and co-author of The Atlas Obscura Explorer’s Guide for the World’s Most Adventurous Kid) is here to give the pigeon's image a makeover, and to help every town- and city-dweller get closer to nature by discovering the joys of birding through pigeon-watching.

Download or read book The Pigeons.net written by Joseph Verola and published by Ustar Publishing. This book was released on with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ThePigeons.net is a new generation of Avian hybrid super heroes fighting drug lords, hostile enemies and terrorist. It's creation was the result of one couple's courage to enter a transporter and exit half human and half pigeon and fly along with their racing pigeons, now a million-dollar enterprise, with competitors willing to pirate, trap or kill their competition. The story start as a gentleman addresses six females and six male recruits, all with something in common; some are monoplegics, paraplegics, and quadriplegics. "Ladies and gentleman, you have been selected to part of a new and special team of Avian hybrid agents, destined to be the next generation of Super Heroes. In front of each of you, within those small wooden cages are paired male and female pigeons; your life will depend on them and their lives will depend upon you. "I want to thank you all for volunteering, you have been specially selected based on your special talents. Most of you are veterans of the Iraqi and Afghanistan war. You will be this generation's true super heroes that weren't born in a comic book. "You will be the first secret Avian hybrid security force. My definition, an Avian hybrid is a composite of or two or more species of animals and/or humans. In ancient times, they were only myths, folklore, characters in books and are depicted in works of art. Those were myths, you will be true legends. You will shortly enter the process of your hybrid transformation into half human and half pigeon. "Ladies, gentlemen we owe all this due to the genius of the creator of the Apocalyptic Transporter and the bravery of Bob and Judy Strum who stepped inside the transporter and exited with their heads on the body of pigeons. Their intention was to uncover the obstacles racing pigeons encountered, resulting in the loss of thousands of birds. Judy, a veterinarian and Bobby, an undercover detective, as Avian hybrids, raced alongside their beloved pigeons in a grueling and hazardous race; defying challenging obstacles: storms, hunters, predatory falcons, violent competitors and pirates. "While on their journey they unwittingly stumbled upon how pigeons, used in world wars performing many heroic deeds, are now being used to provide contraband to prisoners and used by drug lord as mulls, providing them with millions of dollars in illegal profits. "This is Bob and Judy's story and your future."
