Subscribe for all the pigeon coos

We challenge you to draw your own pigeon! Make sure you give your pigeon:

• a name
• a pigeon power

Does your pigeon have super-strong eyesight? The ability to know the exact time without looking at their watch? Or even the best sense of smell in the world? You can make up whatever you want!

Download the ‘Draw your own pigeon’ activity sheet (PDF, 1MB). 

Try drawing Rock Pigeon

Rock Pigeon is a MASTER OF DISGUISE and the heart of the Real Pigeons squad.

He’s also simple to draw if you follow Ben’s easy guide. Good luck – and don’t forget his pet twig, Trent!

Write a story about a bird or an animal that you’ve seen outside lately. Try writing the story from their perspective.

How does the world look to your character?

What can they see, smell, hear, feel?

And what are they doing?

Until then – high feather five!
