Tina Trachtenburg (née Piña ), known by her stage name Mother Pigeon is a street performance artist in New York City. In a typical show, she arranges an art installation of hand made soft sculptures representing pigeons and other urban wildlife while she sits among them.[1][2] The art is for fun and to promote animal rights for pigeons, rats in New York City, and other animals.[1] Her exhibitions are intended to improve the reputations of animals who are "maligned" and "overlooked".[2]

Some art lovers say the pigeons seem real until examined closely.[3] Before becoming a solo street performer and activist, Mother Pigeon was a member of the Trachtenburg Family Slideshow Players,[4] a self-described "indie-vaudeville-conceptual-art rock" band that consisted of Mother Pigeon's husband, Jason, and their only child Rachel, who is a musician, model and actress.
