This author delves into the complex and contradictory relationships between humans and animals within urban landscapes. Initially focused on human-animal relations, this urban sociologist turned to pigeons, viewing them as the quintessential city bird, yet one often disliked. Through an extensive ethnographic study spanning three continents, they investigate how our interactions with these creatures shape our sense of self, social connections, and experience of the city. Their work offers a profound examination of human-nature dynamics at the heart of urban life.
