ROBITHE PIGEON

He’s been on that ledge since before the gentrification. He watched Stortorget fill with scooters. He has opinions. He will share them. You did not ask. He does not care.

SinceBefore the scooters

Not angry. Just permanently done with it.

Robi the Pigeon has occupied the ledge above Lilla Torg since 2012. He was there before the craft beer bars. Before the man in the expensive trainers who “doesn’t do bread.” Before the scooters colonised Stortorget.

He does not hold grudges. He simply remembers everything, in detail, forever, and occasionally issues a one-liner that will end your evening.

ASK ROBI

// He will answer. Whether you like it or not.

Try: “What do you think of the Malmö bridge?” — “Is life worth living?”

Robi responds:
ROBI
“The pigeons are not bothering you. You walked into our city. We were here before Öresundsbron. We will be here after.”
— Robi, at a press conference nobody called

// The Concept

Are youshy?

Let Robi spell it out. He has been saying what everyone thinks but nobody has the nerve to say — from his ledge above Lilla Torg — since 2012. His words. Your statement. His complete indifference.

“Say the thing. I have been saying it from this ledge for eleven years. Nobody listened. Maybe a tote bag will help.”

Robi does not have a manager, an agent, or a mobile phone. He has a ledge above Lilla Torg, Malmö. Stand below it and wait.

Bring something good. Not a croissant heel. He knows.

Every day is an adventure.

Måsse the Seagull arrived at Malmö Harbour in 2014 with a sailor hat and has not stopped being cheerful since. He greets every boat. He once spent three hours complimenting a discarded crisp bag.

He finds that every moment contains something wonderful if you tilt your head at the right angle and really commit to looking.

Try: “Is the Malmö bridge beautiful?” — “What makes life worth living?”

Måsse responds:

“Every cloud has a silver lining, every harbour has a chip, and every person I have ever met has been absolutely marvellous.”
— Måsse, to nobody in particular, from the harbour wall

// The Concept

Too shyto say it?

Let Måsse say the nice thing for you. He has been spreading unsolicited positivity from Malmö Harbour since 2014. His words. Your sunshine. His absolute delight that you chose them.

“I am SO pleased you want to share this. Genuinely. AHOY to everyone who reads it!”
