I seemed to have stumbled across a wonderful pigeon subculture of sorts (I use the word ’stumble’ way too often). During my daily “foraging” on the world wide web – searching for tidbits and scraps of pigeon information that sustain me – I found a lovely pigeon named Mr. Pigeon (I mentioned him in my post, Woolly pigeons). I find him very adorable and have placed my name on the waiting list in the hopes I will soon have one of my own.

Little did I know that there are actually dozens of other knitted pigeons out there – all being lovingly made by a different kind of pigeon lover: the pigeon knitters! If you cannot care for a real life pigeon, then have a knitted one instead! Guaranteed less mess, low cost and poop free… we hope!

Here are a selection of some beautiful, cute and simply wonderful knitted pigeons (simply click on the photos to go to the websites):

Someone has knitted a Percy pigeon to keep her balcony baby pigeons company (the pattern can be found at Make your own Percy ). Very sweet:

Hi, Mr. Pigeon comes from here: http://thepigeonloftuk.blogspot.com/ Charlie P has an Etsy account where she sells them from when she makes them: http://www.etsy.com/shop/thepigeonloft It is worth going on her mailing list to be informed when the next batch will be sold because they go very quickly! I love my Mr. Pigeon and so does our pigeon, Elmo.

I love the Erin McCord pigeon. Do you know how to find one now?

Hi Alyson, it is a lovely pigeon. If you click on the photo it will take you to the website. I don’t know if they are for sale so you’d probably have to email the person directly. Good luck!
