Broker / Dukes Pigeons
49 Pigeons (1 - 49)
Pigeon #3
Firefly Island: This pigeon is right at the top of the highest part of the rollercoaster, resting on the railing. It's on the North side or the rollercoaster area, the side nearest the road. The easiest way to get it is to head into the train station, go onto the tracks and walk along slightly. You'll have an easy shot at it from there.
Pigeon #11
East Hook: The pigeon is on top of the stone sign for the Broker Navy Yard. It's right in the middle, to the side nearest the water. You'll either need to go quite far back to see it, and use a sniper rifle to take it out, or land a heli on Roman's taxi cab rooftop. Either that, or throw a grenade up there.
Pigeon #26
Meadow Hills: Head up the ramp to Lynch Street station and go along the platform until you see the "Lynch Station" sign in between two benches. Climb on the western most bench length ways so Niko pulls himself onto the top of it, then immediately jump up again and Niko will grab onto the train station roof. From here, make your way across the rooftop which goes across the road and climb up onto the roof of the building opposite the train station where you'll find the pigeon.
Pigeon #29
Francis International Airport: This one's a bit tricky to get to, but luckily you don't need to. It's hidden inside the southern-most ring type area just below the roof of the airport. There's a ring on either side of the main entrance which is right in the middle of the airport itself. Use a grenade or RPG to take out this pigeon.
Pigeon #36
Meadows Park: At the end of the street where Packie's Ma lives, there is a building you can enter. It has two red flowers growing out of plant pots on either side of the stairs. Make your way inside, head up the stairs to the roof and climb onto the higher rooftop. The pigeon is on the chimney.
Pigeon #37
East Island City: You'll need a helicopter to get this one, unless you have an RPG. The pigeon is in the small room in the corner of the roof of the building opposite the large LC24 building. Either shoot an RPG into the small room to kill the bird, or land a helicopter on the roof and shoot it.
Pigeon #49
Dukes Bay Bridge: On the 7th concrete block under the bridge, going from Broker towards Bohan. You'll need a boat to be able to take this one out. If you have a sniper rifle, you can get it without a boat. Climb onto the 2nd concrete block (the one slightly in the water), then aim right down along the bridge and zoom in, and you'll just be able to see it.
Bohan Pigeons
22 Pigeons (50 - 71)
Pigeon #53
Industrial: On the roof of a building next to the under construction bridge. Drive alongside the bridge and climb up the ladder leading up to the billboard. From there, climb down at the other side, climb up onto the roof and jump across onto the roof below. Climb up the steps then up the short ladder and you'll find the pigeon on the end of that rooftop.
Charge Island Pigeons
4 Pigeons (72 - 75)
Colony Island Pigeons
6 Pigeons (76 - 81)
Pigeon #76
Algonquin Bridge: About half way along the bridge between Broker and Colony Island, next to one of the big support beams. It's on the side nearest the Clock Tower. The easiest way to get there is to take the bridge from Algonquin to Broker and you'll see it on the right as you drive across the bridge.
Pigeon #79
Algonquin Bridge: Look for a building right next to the large chimney which is next to the bridge. There's a fire escape for this building just around the block. Climb it all of the way to the top, across the rooftop, and then up the next rooftop as high as you can go. You'll find the pigeon at the end of the roof near the big chimney.
Algonquin Pigeons
56 Pigeons (82 - 137)
Pigeon #82
Liberty: You're gonna need to get wet for this one. It's perched on top of a small-ish red container ship. Look for two ships parked one after the other. One is grey and flat, the other is red and has a container full of sand inside it. The pigeon is on top of a metal cabin to the South end of it.
Pigeon #114
Castle Gardens: Quite an annoying pigeon as you need a boat to get this one. Grab a boat then head to the large gap between the piers just past the building side. The pigeon is in the room which sticks out. Either RPG it, grenade it, or stand on a bigger boat and shoot it.
Ciara Molloy provides this tip: "You can stand on top of the building and aim a grenade in, which saves you having to find a boat and sail it over".
Pigeon #129
This one's a pain. You'll need a helicopter for it. Fly to the top of the MeTV building, you'll know you're at the right building because there's a helipad on the rooftop, then climb down the ladder where you'll find the pigeon on a railing.
Ciara Molloy provides this tip: "To avoid the need for a helicopter, on the west side of the building there is a window washer's platform that delivers you to the perfect level".
Alderney Pigeons
57 Pigeons (138 - 194)
Pigeon #181
Tudor: This one's found on the roof of a metal factory type building. If you head behind it you'll be able to jump onto the roof from the grass, and from there it's a simple matter of climbing over the top where you'll find the pigeon. You could always get it with a grenade from the road.
Happiness Island Pigeons
6 Pigeons (195 - 200)
