PIGEONS
Creating resources and fostering community to protect pigeons and doves, including wild, feral and domestic breeds
Pigeon Protection Scotland is a hub for Scottish pigeon advocacy. Hosting communities, creating resources and signal boosting pro-pigeon projects to further the education and understanding of our feathered friends to the wider public.

Messenger Community
A social space for Scottish pigeon lovers!
A relaxed, discussion-focused server with education and skill-sharing at its core.

Lucky Wing Rescue

Humane Wildlife Solutions

#EndBirdNetting
Stop ScotRail's Pigeon Culls
ScotRail, one of the largest train operators in Scotland, has been engaging in pigeon culls in a misguided attempt to manage pigeon populations in its stations.
Please sign the petition against this cruel practice.
End Bird Netting
Across the UK, birds become entangled in netting meant to 'deter' them and suffer horrific, prolonged deaths. They endure injuries, starvation, dehydration, and panic. Nestlings are left to die slowly when their parents cannot reach them.
This suffering is happening every day, largely unseen, unreported, and ignored.
Stringfoot.com
This site contains maps where pigeon flocks with 'stringfoot' can be reported and followed.
It also links to many rescue-based groups across the globe, including PPS!
Coming soon...
Keep an eye on this space for more wonderful pigeon-related work across Scotland!
