Meet the Wind‑Up Pigeon—your pocket‑sized NYC bird buddy! Immortalized in public art and on TV, this little bird salutes one of the city’s most iconic migrant (and occasionally inf amous) residents. Pigeons have been strutting around New York since the 1600s. In the ’40s and ’50s, Lower East Side rooftops were practically pigeon penthouses. Today, most of the action has shifted to Brooklyn and the Bronx. Want more pigeon power? Fly over to the Museum of the City of New York at 103rd & Fifth (ramp on 104th). Wind-up pigeon. Hops when wound. 3-5/8" tall, made of plastic. Show more
