Project Pigeon currently reside in Boxxed‘s backyard in Digbeth. Working with pigeons and people, they aim to bring about social change, and so are currently working on a community pigeon loft.

Traditionally, pigeon lofts are designed to reflect the culture in which they’re located, and so in keeping with this they’re after the designs and ideas of local residents in order to build a loft that reflects all the different cultures in Digbeth and Highgate.

They’ll be holding Community Consultation Days throughout February on the following dates for people wanting to get involved;

• Thursday 3 February:  7.30am-2.30pm Eastside Cafe, 99 Coventry Street, Digbeth
• Sunday 6 February: 10am-4pm Project Pigeon’s Loft, Milk Street, Digbeth (in Boxxed’s backyard, opposite Birmingham Backpackers)
• Wednesday 9 February: 2pm-6pm Project Pigeon’s Loft
• Tuesday 15 February: 7pm-11pm The Spotted Dog pub, 104 Warwick Street, Digbeth

Designs can also be submitted to projectpigeondigbeth@gmail.com

Eastside Café will be exhibiting designs between 9 -12 March, plus keep an eye on their Flickr photostream where they’ll be uploading entries.

The pigeon loft will then be built between mid March and May 2011 so look out for further information.
