A fancy pigeon abandoned at Burnaby's Central Park last week is 'doing great' and living with a flock of chickens in Aldergrove thanks to the intervention of three strangers on Reddit.
Metrotown resident Ashley Viljoen was taking a pre-work walk at Central Park last Thursday sometime after 8 a.m. when she came upon a woman near a picnic table with an unusual looking pigeon.
“It couldn’t fly, and it would be eaten within a few hours,” Viljoen said. “Honestly, it was surprising that it hadn’t been eaten because there’s a lot of coyotes and eagles and stuff in the park.” By the end of the day, the pigeon was safe and sound in Aldergrove — as evidenced by a TikTok video posted by Chin. Pidgey, as Chin has dubbed the fancy bird, is “doing great” and “living well” with the chickens in her barn.The avian drama sparked numerous comments on Reddit, with many celebrating its happy conclusion.
