, then released before it was found inside Madison Square Park in New York City last week, has died, according to a bird rescue group that was caring for it.
The Wild Bird Fund had been treating the domestic king pigeon, which it said appeared to be"barely more than a fledgling" when it was discovered in the Manhattan park and showed signs of malnutrition. The group said domesticated birds already have trouble surviving because they can't find food in the wild, fly well or escape predators.
As for the Madison Square Park pigeon, the Wild Bird Fund tweeted Tuesday,"Despite our best efforts to reduce the fumes coming off the dye, while keeping him calm and stable, he died in the night. We believe his death was caused by inhaling the toxins."Sign up for NBC Philadelphia newsletters. We are deeply sad to report that Flamingo, our sweet pink pigeon, has passed away. Despite our best efforts to reduce the fumes coming off the dye, while keeping him calm and stable, he died in the night. We believe his death was caused by inhaling the toxins.
