Philly Pigeon Tours
Ah, Philadelphia — the birthplace of Pigeon Tours. Join us for tours in the Italian Market, West Philly, and Old City (coming soon).
"South Philly's hottest new excursion"

Italian Market tour
On our Italian Market Pigeon Tour, meet the pigeons of the historic Italian Market on South 9th St.
Your guide will bring you around the market, visiting nearby flocks and nesting sites. You’ll observe pigeons nesting above the market’s unique shops, defying anti-pigeon spikes and netting, and boldly strolling through traffic.
What you’ll do

- We’ll start the tour at a local cat café, where we’ll teach useful birdwatching skills. (Nothing says “cat energy” like watching birds.)
- Next, we’ll visit an established flock along Washington Ave, and witness all types of pigeons and behaviors. Sometimes we even see a hawk or falcon chasing them!
- We’ll visit a nesting site. Depending on the season, we may see baby or juvenile pigeons!
- We’ll walk up 9th St, observing pigeons braving traffic, nesting in buildings, and snoozing on signs and ledges.
