Dale's balcony in Kings Cross has become a refuge for injured birds, but the healing goes both ways
Briefly

Dale Edwards has been caring for the same flock of pigeons for 40 years, beginning with 14 racing pigeons he freed from cages on a farm in Victoria. This commitment has resulted in a genetically mixed flock of about 130 birds, which now trust him completely and gather on his balcony daily for food, creating a unique bond that has transformed his life and brought the local community together.
After witnessing a bird's nest being destroyed when he was four, Edwards was inspired to protect pigeons. Over the years, he has not only nurtured his flock but has also become a local figure, taking in injured birds and ensuring they are cared for. His dedication has led to the pigeons returning to him not just for food, but as a safe space where they feel at peace.
