PEMBROKE PINES, Fla. – Among the green landscape of CB Smith Park in Pembroke Pines was something that stuck out just a bit on Thursday.

Actually, quite a lot.

Park goers were shocked to see two pigeons whose feathers had been dyed pink.

“They are now just a bright target for predator animals,” said Susan Oddo with Palm Beach Parrot and Bird Rescue.

The bizarre sight is no laughing matter according to Oddo.

Her rescue has taken in another bird with dyed feathers that was also captured in the area of Pembroke Pines.

“These are animals that are raised in captivity, they are not wild,” Oddo explained. “They are not supposed to be released by the wild, because they’re not native species, and they also can’t fend for themselves.”

The dye, she said, probably won’t cause harm, but the birds likely can’t survive on their own in the wild.

Oddo speculates they may have been used for a gender reveal event.

That’s my bet also. In any case, hawks and eagles rejoice and feast.

I feel the need to correct this headline to:

“Pigeons painted pink pin-pointed in Pembroke Pines park.”

I liked the pigeons with the MAGA hats but haven’t seen those in a while.

Dyed pink for “Susan G Komen” breast cancer awareness?

[dfwgator]

Say it, don’t spray it!

[teeman8r]

predators will not hunt them because they are differently colored.

[Larry Lucido]

That’s a lotta alliteration.

[Larry Lucido]

They should have been potted instead of spotted.

[CheshireTheCat]

Not nearly enough. They could have done better.

[dsrtsage]

They identify as flamingos

[hflynn]

Not every pigeon is buying the Democrat Green BS.

[Larry Lucido]

Were they propped up? It could have been a potted pigeon prop.

[aMorePerfectUnion]

I think pigeons know how to scavenge - and there’s too many anyway

[dfwgator]

I was going to say that the flamingos would probably try to mate with them.
