A group of pigeons in Pershing Square in Downtown Los Angeles is depressed because humans treat them badly, like calling them “rats with wings.” They lie down on their backs in the middle of the park! The leader pigeon, Chief, comes to their rescue and tells stories of the past to encourage them. Can the pigeons stand on their feet again before a hawk finds them?
You will learn about pigeons and the forgotten history of Los Angeles. You will ride the emotional roller coaster with the pigeons as Chief tells the pigeons' story and arrive at a brighter place.
Great gift book for both pigeon lovers and haters, and anyone in between. The pigeons will thank you.
This was Demi's first comic book. She conceived the story while going through a very difficult time. The story gave her hope and creating a comic book kept her going.

Demi Naito has a keen eye for finding the meaning and stories behind the smallest interactions. Pigeons have lived alongside us for so long that their presence has become seemingly mundane. But in The Pigeons of Los Angeles, Naito peers into the history of human-pigeon coexistence in one California city and discovers tales of loss, disdain, enchantment, and more. By peering into that history, she also peers into the soul of a city, finding its flaws and virtues and everything in between. The Pigeons of Los Angeles is beautiful, poignant, and fascinating all at once.
Funny and sad story about pigeons who are just.fucking.over it.
Bird is best. I've always been fascinated by birds. Pigeons have such an interesting story, and it's all beautifully told in this cute little book. I highly recommend! Thanks again!
What a delightful Comic book! The details of each drawing, how the characters changed positions in each frame, the subtleties and nuances - and the story that is woven so brilliantly throughout the book - all of this makes The Pigeons of Los Angeles a delight from beginning to end. Demi has created a gem - stunning work, beautifully presented both in story and in form. It is a marvelous Comic, based on events that most of us have not heard about before. Congratulations, Demi - "more Comics, please!!"
I finished reading it and I thought it was really good! I think it is perfect for this time, and important for readers to know about pigeons and about Los Angeles. It's a very interesting story and inspiring too! I really enjoyed it and I think the artwork was really cute! Pigeons are fascinating creatures and this comic book deserves a reading!
