A video promoting the pigeon-verse presents it like a video game were you embody a pigeon.

You can communicate with other humans who have turned into pigeons.

The video makes it seem like you can do most things a pigeon does, like cooing and flying around.

To make it more realistic, there's no voice chat or text chat.

Users will have to interpret the 'coos' or other virtual pigeons to have some sort of conversation.

All the pigeons look the same and there's no purchases or any game plan to follow.

It's simply using an app to act like a pigeon.

The main activities seem to be sitting on a seesaw or finding three virtual chickens that are wandering around the pigeon-verse.

It's unclear whether the app will become available in more countries or come to Android.
