A pigeon that Australia declared a biosecurity risk has received a reprieve after a U.S. bird organization declared its identifying leg band was fake.
The band suggested the bird found in a Melbourne backyard on Dec. 26 was a racing pigeon that had left the U.S. state of Oregon, 13,000 kilometers (8,000 miles) away, two months earlier.
On that basis, Australian authorities on Thursday said they considered the bird a disease risk and planned to kill it.
But Deone Roberts, sport development manager for the Oklahoma-based American Racing Pigeon Union, said on Friday the band was fake.

Notice no mask.
Even pigeons want to identify as illegal aliens to get some intersectionality.
I did a double take; for a second, I was thinking “leg band” referred to a music genre I never heard of. Darn homonyms . . .
Fake news, fake votes, fake leg bands, what next?
Reads like Babylon Bee!
“Australia’s Agriculture Department, which is responsible for biosecurity, agreed that the pigeon dubbed Joe, after U.S. President-elect Joe Biden, was wearing a “fraudulent copy” leg band.”
“What is the airspeed velocity”
Speed = Distance/Time
Velocity = Displacement/Time in a direction.
It’s not a ‘racing pigeon’. It’s what’s known as a ‘feather foot’, a breed for show, not homing. Fly across the Pacific against prevailing winds? Yeah, sure, and Joe Biden won the election too if you believe Fatso Featherball arrived from the US.
Next week the media will be reporting that a yeti paraglided into Sydney from the Himalayas.
Q: How do they recruit journalists these days?
A: Give all candidates an intelligence test, with the ones that don’t have any hired immediately.
It’s a pigeon of a little bit of color.
And no little hat!
African or European?
Jamacian cross
FAKE? TRUMP’s FAULT!!
Yay!
The original leg band.
OK How do I get some (fake) leg band?
I eat only grain, fly one hour per day for exercise, never speak against Ho/Bo (coo coo love hoo love boo).
Joe the pigeon, named after the fake president-elect is a flying feathered fraud? Who could have guessed some fowl play was afoot?
