The New York pigeon – in pictures

Andrew Garn is a native New Yorker who grew up surrounded by the city's ubiquitous pigeons. For over a decade he has photographed, rehabilitated and observed the birds, documenting the entire spectrum of their development from newborn "squeakers" to fully fledged adults. The New York Pigeon: Behind the Feathers by Andrew Garn, with text by Emily S Rueb and Rita McMahon, is published by powerHouse Books and available in the UK at The Guardian Bookshop
