Pigeons

Pigeons are a recurring but sparsely documented presence in the book: the index directs readers to pages 37 and 396, and the cited sources connect the birds with animal history and an account of Dublin street life. The evidence records these points of reference without establishing a sustained plot role or further details about particular birds.

References in the Book

The index lists Pigeons at two points, pages 37 and 396. Their separation suggests that the subject recurs, but the available material does not describe the surrounding passages or show what happens at either location.

Documentary Context

The bibliography cites Andrew Blechman’s Pigeons: The Fascinating Saga of the World’s Most Revered and Reviled Bird, including a reference to page 11, and Kevin C. Kearns’s Dublin Street Life & Lore: An Oral History, citing pages 195–98. A fragment associated with the latter refers to birds getting home after a long race. Together, these citations frame the subject through animal history and urban oral history, while leaving the book’s fuller treatment unspecified.
