Flamingo was found in New York City with mysterious pink feathers — the product, some believe, of a gender reveal gone wrong. The pigeon died on Monday.
Birds also spend a lot of their time preening their feathers with their beaks, McMahon said. So even though the staff members managed to remove the substance from certain feathers, Flamingo was still ingesting some of it through its beak.During its last week of life, the bird with pink feathers became a beloved fixture at the nonprofit, McMahon said.
Flamingo deteriorated quickly. It was already malnourished when it was taken under the Wild Bird Fund’s wing, but it kept vomiting and becoming weaker. Through it all, the nonprofit about Flamingo’s condition on social media — sparking “unprecedented attention” and a flood of well wishes for the ailing bird, McMahon said.On Tuesday morning, however, Flamingo’s caretakers discovered the bird’s lifeless body inside its enclosure.
Still, McMahon said there’s a lesson to be learned from Flamingo’s “terribly, terribly sad” death: the very real harms of dyeing animals. “Flamingo became a bit of a martyr for a greater cause,” she added. “It went viral and got people talking about what a cruel thing it is to dye a poor animal without any regard for its life and the consequences of those actions.
