When doves die.

New York City’s mysterious pink pigeon, named Flamingo, died last night after allegedly suffering an adverse reaction to the dye coating its body.

“We are deeply sad to report that Flamingo, our sweet pink pigeon, has passed away,” NYC bird rehabber the Wild Bird Fund wrote in a heartbreaking squab-ituary making rounds on Facebook.

The rose-colored rock dove had become an instant cele-birdie after WBF rescued it from Madison Square Park last month. Ornithology experts were flummoxed by Flamingo’s pink coloration, which they suspect was deliberately painted on as part of a bird-brained gender reveal stunt.

The song excluded, it’s really not nice to poison pigeons in the park

If the parents to be could do that to a pigeon, imagine what they'll do to their child.  That's just sick, cruel, and demented.
