Rescuers say after giving the bird time to stabilize, they were unable to remove the hair dye that was applied to the pigeon.
A pink pigeon found in Madison Square Park in Manhattan, NYC, is now recovering at Wild Bird Fund on the UWS.A pink pigeon found in Madison Square Park in Manhattan, NYC, is struggling to recover at Wild Bird Fund on the Upper West Side.A good Samaritan saw the animal on Monday in Madison Square park after noticing the bright-colored bird walking around.
"After giving our pink guest time to stabilize, our team tried several methods to remove the dye, which we believe is hair dye, with limited success. One problem is that the dye has a strong odor, and we're concerned for the bird's respiratory health," the organization reported on Twitter. The Wild Bird Fund said the pigeon could not survive in the wild because it can't find food, fly well or escape predators. And being a bright, unusual color makes it even more of a target.
