The pigeon, usually busy patrolling the pavements, has found something far better: a comfortable throne and the morning paper. Perched on the toilet with the confidence of a regular, he works through the columns as if he had been waiting for this moment all his life. This absurd, oddly tender illustration turns the most ordinary bird in our cities into an everyday hero, and his round little eye seems to warn that he must not be disturbed before the sports pages.

This feathered reader joins our decorative aviary, the Bird Posters collection, where he rubs shoulders with far more majestic species — which is exactly what makes him so endearing. In the WC, a bathroom or above the washing machine, he adds the touch of self-deprecating humour that changes everything. City dwellers who dodge his cousins every morning will savour the joke more than anyone else in the room.

The dream gift for an urban friend who was cursing pigeons only yesterday: this one, at least, has finally learned how to behave himself indoors.
