SUMMARY:Literary Walk: Are City Pigeons 'Flying Rats' or Worthy Neighbors?
DESCRIPTION:Writer Irwan Droog leads a literary walk around Winkelcentrum Boven ‘t Y in Amsterdam-Noord\, reading from his new book ‘Pigeon’ (May 2026) along the way. Expect pigeon-spotting\, myth-busting about the city’s most underrated bird\, and maybe even a pigeon rescue. Droog’s previous books were bestsellers — this one takes an unexpectedly tender look at urban wildlife. Starts at Bookstore Van der Plas\, Buikslotermeerplein 70. \nWhere: Bookstore Van der Plas\, Buikslotermeerplein 70\, Amsterdam-Noord \nMore info & tickets
