Pink Pigeon Saved from Rave Dye

A pigeon found in Vacaville looking like it just crashed a rave—pink-dyed wing, wild look—ended up in Napa Wildlife Rescue’s care, suspected to be part of a gender reveal stunt. While rescuers have seen dyed birds before, this pink one’s case highlights a growing problem: dye can harm birds’ eyesight and breathing, especially when they’re already malnourished or injured. Critics also warn releasing domestic pigeons into the wild is risky, often fatal. But this bird got a happy ending—adopted by a volunteer with a full pigeon sanctuary, proving not all stories end in feathers and dye.
