An association took in the pigeon and expressed itself on Facebook: “Pigeons have many different colors and plumages, but pink is not one of them. This poor bird struggles enough as a domestic bird to find food in the wild, fly well, or escape predators, but its bright and unusual color makes it an even bigger target,” writes Wild. BirdFund. “Please never release pet birds into the wild. They will starve or be preyed upon. If you see an all-white pigeon in the wild, or a tame bird that seems lost, it needs your help,” concludes the Wild Bird Fund.
