the PIGEON hustle

The Pigeon Hustle 2025

The Pigeon Hustle is a one off single film on one of the most familiar birds in the world in collaboration with Skyland (for WNET, ARTE and ORF). With a world population of hundreds of millions, feral pigeons are thriving in our largest global cities.

The Pigeon Hustle tracks down flocks of pigeons in London and New York to uncover the secret world of these resilient animals, our most familiar city-dwelling neighbours. Pigeons are an integral yet often-ignored part of life in towns and cities around the world. Often dismissed as “flying rats,” the birds are in fact expert navigators and phenomenal athletes.
