Heartfelt note for new tenants:

In a beautifully handwritten note, the former tenant explained that the pigeons might take a little time to realise he had moved out.

The letter included gentle instructions for the new tenants to treat the birds kindly. “They are sweethearts,” the note read, accompanied by small sketches of Nev and Calloway alongside the former tenant.

Hawk, the former tenant, is a pigeon rescuer. He added that Nev sometimes brings her partner along and reassured the new residents that the visits would stop once the pigeons adjusted to the change.

“They might take a minute to understand we no longer live here... If they visit, please be kind to them and escort them out gently,” the note adds.
