More than a dozen pigeons that were found dead at a Bucks County park over the weekend were likely poisoned, investigators said. K_Hua has the details:
On July 8, Warminster Police and a Warminster Animal Control Officer were notified of numerous dead birds at the old NADC tower at Warminster Community Park along Bristol Road in Warminster. When the officers arrived they found 16 dead domestic pigeons with tags on them, indicating they were someone’s pets.
“For so many of them to be together I tend to think that whoever owns them is relatively local,” Nicole Wilson of the Pennsylvania SPCA said. The officers also spotted bird feeders – which aren’t typically found at the park – with an unknown substance inside of them.Sign up for NBC Philadelphia newsletters.Investigators are currently conducting tests to determine what the substance is but suspect it's a poison that was meant to kill the birds. They also said the bird feeders were likely placed at the park early Saturday morning.
Wilson said other animals could have eaten the birds and died and children could’ve been harmed by the substance in the bird feeders as well.
