Bella, where the hell have you been, loca?!
Since you're here, I don't want to disapoint. So if you'll indulge me let me tell you all about my favourite animal The Majestic Eye-Ball Paul.
Did you click the pigeon out of rogue curiosity, or are you a massive bird nerd like myself? Either way, I like you!
Did you click a pigeon somewhere? Why am I asking I know you did 👀
Hey clicky!
So, that begs the question.....
Introducing
Eye-Ball Paul
Eye-Ball Paul first flew into my life during Covid and he has never once left. He visits every morning at 8am and every evening at 5pm with the kind of punctuality most would envy.
Gisele, his good lady wife, takes the 1pm slot. They have an arrangement. It works for them.
He's shy. He's private. He doesn't give much away. But he turns up, every single day, without being asked, and I respect that enormously.
Creative Director of Pidge Operations

Wait, you're still here? Okay cool, cool. Let's do some

Fact 5
Eye-Ball Paul has NEVER asked me to "just make the logo bigger." We can all learn from him. He is, and always will be, the ideal client.
Fact 1
The most expensive racing pigeon ever sold went for nearly $1,900,000. Someone paid almost two million dollars for a bird. An actual bird. I think about this a lot.
Makes my brand package look like a proper bargain, right?!
Fact 4
Pigeons can fly up to 500 miles in a single day. When was the last time you hit your 10k step goal, eh? Be honest. Me and the pigeons are judging you.... 👹
Fact 2
Cher Ami, a WW1 carrier pigeon, delivered 12 crucial messages to the US military saving 194 American lives and was awarded the Croix de Guerre for bravery. A war hero. An actual war hero with wings and a beak. I love her.
Fact 3
Pigeons choose a life partner and both parents care for their young. Committed, present, doing the work.
Did you know Olivia Dean actually wrote "Man I Need" while thinking about pigeons? Okay I made that bit up, but it COULD have happened.
