Help a Pigeon, Heal the City

Every string removed is a life saved.

In cities around the world, pigeons silently suffer from a preventable but painful condition: stringfoot. Loose threads, human hair, and debris get wrapped tightly around their toes, cutting off circulation, causing severe injury, and often leading to infection or loss of limbs.

But help exists, and you can be part of it.

Across the globe, dedicated pigeon rescuers and volunteers are making a difference.
From New York to Paris, from London to São Paulo, people are going out into cities to gently detangle, treat, and release pigeons suffering from stringfoot. Many of these rescuers belong to organizations that specialize in urban pigeon welfare. Some groups even offer hands-on training, free online classes, and guidance for anyone who wants to learn how to help.

These small acts of care ripple outward.
Each freed foot means less suffering, a stronger flock, and a more compassionate city.

Pigeons are part of our urban ecosystems, resilient, intelligent, and misunderstood. Helping them isn’t just about saving individual birds. It’s about building a city where compassion and coexistence lead the way.

See them. Help them. Heal them.
Remove the string. Join the movement. Share the knowledge.

Let’s protect life while managing the flock.
Support destringing pigeons feet, because every city bird deserves compassion

Elodie M. Richard was born in France but with a complex heritage including Polish and Russian. Due to her father’s career in the Army her family had to regularly move and adapt to new locations in France and abroad. Her life path as a child and adult is made of travels and regular changes of geographical locations, constantly balancing between feeling of loss, challenges and new life starts. 

Unlike a superficial society that gets lost in ultra consumption, Elodie creates a refined, symbolic and meditative world around the broad notion of identity. She takes her inspirations from personal experiences but also current events and her connection to nature.
The artist currently lives in Central Florida with her husband (artist himself) and their small flock of 5 rescued pigeons.

This page shows an inventory of her work as a painter and illustrator since 2016 up to this current year. 

Some of her artworks appear as sold, if interested in an art piece, please private message Elodie.
