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!

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?

Buy a Real Pigeons book

Real Pigeons books can be bought where all good books are sold.

While it’s a bit tricky to get to the shops at the moment, we recommend checking if your local bookshop is doing delivery, or look at any of the fabulous Australian retailers who sell books online. This week we’ve partnered with Booktopia!

We hope you enjoyed this episode of The Super Coo Club!

Don’t miss episode two next week when we investigate how to write a funny story! It will be live at 12pm (AEST) on Wednesday 13th May.

Oh and if you want to send us a video question of your own – visit the Super Coo Club webpage for all the details.

Until then – high feather five!
