FEED THE PIGEONS T-SHIRT

A dark humour t-shirt available in black or white cotton.

Enter the strange world of urban domination with the Feed The Pigeons T-Shirt. This design transforms the humble pigeon — those grey, fluttering citizens of every city square — into towering, militarised overlords demanding tribute. The message, scrawled in bold wartime-style lettering, is clear: Keep Calm and Feed the Pigeons — Or Else.

The artwork channels mid-20th century propaganda posters with its stark colours, rigid typography, and exaggerated perspective. At the centre marches a gigantic pigeon in a soldier’s helmet, flanked by a battalion of equally menacing avian troops. Around them, panicked humans scatter in terror. The urban backdrop is drab and uniform, a perfect canvas for absurd tyranny. The effect is equal parts Orwellian warning and surreal comedy.

“Pigeons are just doves with city jobs.” — Unknown

This design works on two levels. On the surface, it’s a hilarious exaggeration of the city-dweller’s daily battle with pigeons — birds that always seem just a little too bold, too many in number, too confident in their claim to our spaces. Beneath the humour lies satire: a parody of propaganda itself, reminding us how fear and obedience can be manufactured with the right slogan and image.

Perfect for fans of retro poster art, urban satire, and Hellwood’s brand of twisted humour, the Feed The Pigeons T-Shirt captures that uneasy tension between the ridiculous and the terrifying. Whether you see it as a send-up of city life or a metaphor for creeping authoritarianism, this tee makes a statement that’s impossible to ignore.
