Meet Our Mascot: The Brooklyn Pigeon
At TEAL, we're inspired by the Brooklyn pigeon - or "Bigeon" as we call them. For over 6,000 years, pigeons have provided humanity with food, delivery services, and even rescue aid. We recognize them for their intelligence, resiliency, and service.
Intelligence
Pigeons are remarkably intelligent birds, capable of complex problem-solving and navigation.
Resiliency
They thrive in urban environments, adapting to challenges while maintaining their communities.
Service
Historically, pigeons have served humanity as messengers, companions, and providers.
Just like pigeons, our communities are intelligent, resilient, and ready to serve each other in building a sustainable future.
Rooted in community. Growing toward sovereignty.
