Dave Pigeon (Royal Coo!) follows Dave Pigeon and his best friend, Skipper, as they take in the sights of London. Whilst pecking around the gates of the Royal Palace in search of high-brow snacks, they encounter Prince Raju Pigeon, one of the Queen's personal birds from the Royal Lofts.

Raju, tired of royal life, longs to see beyond the palace gates. Dave suggests they swap places for a short while—Raju will get to experience how a normal pigeon lives, and Dave will be pampered in the Royal Lofts.

Of course, this goes to Dave's head as he laps up the royal treatment, becoming more unbearable than ever. But life in high society is not all it's cracked up to be...

A modern-day prince and pauper story with pigeons!
