Pigeon Religion follows seven New Yorkers who have built their lives around the city's estimated five million pigeons.

Feeders Luis and Nita show up on sidewalks and in the parks every day for birds they both take as a sign of God. Artist Mother Pigeon has a wild flock of her own and takes on the netters who trap city birds for live pigeon shoots.

Fliers Dave, Hubert and Tommy are the last of a competitive tradition, breeding, training, and stealing birds off each other from rooftop coops to the auction floor. Carlos takes it further, opening a pigeon shop and finding out the difference between keeping birds and moving product.

All of it comes at the cost of someone's patience, whether family, neighbors, or city officials, for a calling few will ever have.
