Here’s a truth we hold dear at Craftspring: pigeons are awesome.
Yes, we said it! These little city dwellers are quirky, scrappy, weirdly elegant, and absolutely lovable. That’s why we’ve given them a starring role in some of our most iconic handmade Christmas ornaments. Pigeons are the unsung heroes of the city—and now, they’re ready to strut their stuff right on your tree.
Meet the Pigeon Posse

A tribute to every New Yorker who’s ever seen a pigeon drag a slice twice its size down the sidewalk. It’s hilarious, heroic, and weirdly relatable.

It’s rush hour, it’s snowing, and a pigeon just landed on your cab. Welcome to the magic of NYC. This keepsake ornament captures that only-in-New-York energy we adore.

Holiday cheer meets city pride! Our Santa-hatted pigeons perched atop Lady Liberty bring together everything we love—festive ornaments, city spirit, and a sprinkle of silliness.

Ah yes, the infamous “pigeon donut.” This delightfully plump city bird wears its bread necklace with confidence and carbs. It’s a hilarious nod to one of the greatest urban memes—and makes the perfect stocking stuffer for your most pigeon-obsessed friend.
🧤 Mini Pigeon Sweater with Mittens Ornament
Is there anything cuter than a tiny sweater with a pigeon on it? We didn’t think so. This festive little knit, complete with pizza mittens brings all the cozy vibes with a wink of NYC charm. It’s the perfect dash of whimsical holiday décor—just right for urban animal lovers, and holiday gifts with meaning.
Each of these artisanal holiday ornaments is handmade with love, and brings a little urban sparkle and heart to your holiday decorations. Whether you’re from the city or just have a soft spot for its winged residents, these ornaments are a celebration of grit, humor, and pigeon-powered charm.
Pigeons Deserve Love (and a Little Activism)
Of course, our love for pigeons isn’t just playful—it’s heartfelt. These birds are often misunderstood, and few people champion them like Mother Pigeon, a New York street artist and animal rights activist who’s made it her mission to protect them.
From creating lifelike soft sculptures in public spaces to speaking out against the illegal capture of city pigeons, she’s fighting for the feathered underdogs. We admire her dedication and advocacy—and we’re honored to celebrate the birds she works so hard to protect.
So the next time you spot a pigeon puffed up on a stoop or strutting through a crosswalk, give them a little mental high-five. Better yet, hang one on your tree and let the cooing commence.
Pigeons forever. Holiday magic always.
