Rescuers Save Nearly 600 Neglected Pigeons From Abandoned North Carolina Shed

What began as a routine animal welfare response quickly escalated into a massive rescue effort after crews discovered hundreds more pigeons than expected inside a Greensboro, N.C., shed. According to reporting by WFMY News 2, Guilford County Animal Services and two Charlotte-area bird rescues were initially told that about 300 pigeons were being housed in the outhouse behind a local home. When responders opened the door, they found closer to 550 birds packed inside the structure.
