Flamingo, the bright pink pigeon that went viral last week after it was found malnourished in a New York City park, has died — likely because of the dye that was used to coat it, said the Wild Bird Fund.

It's unclear what the specific dye used on the bird was, but the group suspects it may have been hair dye and said on Twitter that regardless of the type of dye, birds are particularly sensitive to fumes. They have tried several times to remove the coloration using several different methods.

In a Twitter thread, the Fund went on to say that Flamingo was likely a domestic bird that had been raised for food. When they found him, he was"malnourished, barely older than a baby and had no survival skills," the group said.

Look, if there isn’t any updates to this story then stop showing it.

Animals today people tomorrow, that's how shit starts.

What is wrong with these people? Omg sick.

That’s so cruel

Sad

😥😥💔🤯

Thanks for the news CBS. Are you all high?

These gender reveal parties are getting out of control

RIP

Incorrect, newborn baby chickens are still sold to this day fully dyed. Quit spreading opinion as scientific fact. Where's the autopsy report huh? (For those that don't read the article it literally says the bird suffered from malnutrition)

Yeah...they shouldn't spawn.

Poor young pigeon. Such cruelty. Unspeakable lab people in the USA are now misusing pigeons to recreate the Dodo! Sickening stuff!

People stupidly do things that they think are ‘cute’ to other creatures doing endless harm 😢

Maybe the pigeon dying is an omen.

I guess it was a girl then.

Thi is one crime against animals do not fallow this behavior

$50 it was for some cringy gender reveal party. Poor bird.

People are sick but how is this relevant? Mindless hoodlums in my city killed a kitten when I was growing up, too, and nailed to a shed door. That didn’t make the national news. Sorry ass clickbait this 👎

😥

If you find a blue one, it was for one of those idiotic baby reveals

Now have empathy for a baby in the womb

Why the cruelty? Instead of killing innocent animals they should clean up the park.

Interesting to see who did it.
