The Wild Bird Fund, which is caring for the pigeon, has a theory about how it became pink.
"Luckily a kind person rescued him in Madison Square Park, and he's now safely in care," the fund said, reminding people to never release domestic birds into the wild for occasions like weddings and funerals, as they could starve or be preyd on.
"We'd hope that"don't dye them" goes without saying, but..." the fund said."If you see an all-white pigeon in the wild, or any tame bird standing around looking lost, it needs your help. Please catch the bird and bring it to a pigeon rescue or animal sanctuary near you.", an organization that rescues and rehomes these birds. King pigeons are domestic pigeons that are pure white and often bred for food.
"Feral pigeons are well adapted to cities, suburbs and rural areas. Unless you find an injured feral pigeon or an orphaned baby, wild pigeons should generally be left alone to live as wild birds," Palomacy says. Trending News
