Out on the Wing (2009)

Two Scottish boys set out on a life long journey to catch the worlds most sought out bird: THE PIGEON. A 30min short that spans three generations of pigeon capturing. The story is loosely based around the life of the late Pigeon Man Terrance McConnachie . Written and directed by Gerard Roxburgh
Majority of the film is based on true events excluding the falconer scene.

I’ll never get tired of this. At least once every month or two I’ll see it like it’s the first time. God love all the pigeon men

Takes me back when I flew Pouters in Easter house. Great memories . That was fifty years ago. I had a wee homer doo let out in the morning came back at night cos it was hungry. Great film make more if possible. Thank you. Might get the hammer and nails oot and make a dookit and get a couple of pair.

My father is a Doo Man from the south side of Glasgow, it's a great hobby. You don't see that many doocots these days ( or as we say in Glasgow Dookit ).There used to be a lot of them on empty spare ground plots, but a lot of them have come down as the land is used for housing.😞

[@notoriousqueenpigeon]

this is a beautiful film. Than Coooo for making this. I am a Pigeon fancier in Toronto Ontario, Canada. I dont flee Doos. I love Pouters. Probably my favorite breed, all of them. Thief Pouters, Croppers, Pomeranian Pouters, very friendly pigeons.
