Did You Bring the Hummus? with Kimberly Winters Episode 117 - Pigeons, Pigeons, Pigeons with Sue Joyce of Little Green Pigeon
Today, I am joined by Sue Joyce. Sue is the founder of Little Green Pigeon C.I.C., a national UK organization with two core aims: to raise funds to support rehabilitators caring for pigeons, and to campaign for a UK-wide ban on pigeon racing. After running a pigeon sanctuary for over 15 years, Sue launched Little Green Pigeon to take her advocacy to a national level.
In 2025, she founded the National Pigeon Advocacy Association (NPAA), and together, the two organizations are set to host the world’s first Pigeon Advocacy Conference in Staffordshire, England, in September 2025.
Sue speaks at festivals and events across the UK, raising awareness about pigeon welfare and the exploitation of birds in sport and industry. She is also the co-host of the Bloody Vegans Podcast, alongside her co-host and editor Jim Moore.
In June 2025, Sue co-founded the Animal Rights Choir with her best friend Vegan Queen V—an in-person and online community choir created to empower people to find and raise their voices for animals. The choir now performs at festivals and animal rights events across the UK.
In addition to her advocacy work, Sue also works part-time for Vegan Business Mastermind, an online mentorship program supporting vegan entrepreneurs.
I am so glad for Sue and this episode, I think pigeons are pretty misunderstood and this episode gives them the respect they deserve, You’ll also hear Sue’s vegan journey, all about the other projects she’s working on and hummus.
