British Town Of Bury Baffled Over Pink Pigeon Spotted Snacking During Police Patrol (Pictures & Comments)

Picture this: You're walking down the street after your lunch break, sipping your coffee, and you see someone feeding some pigeons from a park bench. At first, you think nothing of it, but then something flashy catches your eye. You do a double take and what do you see? You see a pink pigeon! Where this pigeon came from or how it got its pink coloring are still a mystery, but don't worry, the local police are on it. The case of the flashy, funny birb is open and being investigated!

We just hope that it wasn't from some terrible 'gender reveal gone wrong' kind of situation, or that someone dyed or painted it, because that would be terrible. We're all for expressing yourself with style, but it should be natural, and 100% your decision, not someone else deciding for you! Do you think we should call the producers of Barbie and tell them they might have a new cast member?

    We would be seriously baffled if we saw a pink pigeon randomly on the street. So baffled that we might even try to use it as an excuse to go home early from work. Do you think we could swing it? "Sorry boss, we're just too confused by the state of the world after seeing this pink pigeon. We need to go home and contemplate our place in the universe." Convincing, right?

    Friends, just because it's pink doesn't mean that we should treat it any differently. It eats stale bread just like every other pigeon, and is probably just as dirty. Unless it's like the mutated spider from Spiderman, and if it bites you you get pink pigeon powers. But….do we really want that?

    Font - doollynoted Grew up with and ate the same food as flamingos. Just a guess. Why are Flamingos Pink? | Q&A Flamingos are pink due to their diet, which includes pigments from the food they eat, such as algae and crustaceans, that contain carotenoids, turning their feathers pink over time.
