About Coogle Maps

A map of Manhattan from the pigeons' point of view. Every 311 complaint humans filed about pigeons becomes a pigeon review of that place.

Complaint counts are real. Pigeons on screen are stand-ins, not real birds. Reviews are written by AI from real data about each place. 311 shows where people call 311, not exactly where pigeons live.
