Dr. Archibald Coo, an erudite New York City pigeon, is tired of the way people treat him and the other pigeons. They're always being shooed and swatted, and they're never admired the way the other birds are. As Dr. Coo tells his pigeon friends: 'It wasn't always this way. In ancient times, pigeons were known to accompany the gods. And more recently, delivered messages and medicine to soldiers on battlefields. They were heroes!' Surely, Dr. Coo reasons, pigeons can find a way to earn the admiration of people once again. And he's got just the plan to do it!
