Pigeon with pink wings

Hello. I live in London N7. I have spotted a pigeon with pink wings in my garden twice this week. When it flies the underwings are bright pink. I think it is living in my next door neighbours roof (there are feral pigeons roosting there).

Has anyone else seen this? Any thoughts?

Thanks

Hi Camilla,

There is a trend to dye pigeons for release at weddings so it could be an escapee that has joined up with a feral flock

Thank you both. If this one was dyed for a themed wedding I’m glad it’s escaped! I’ll try and take a photo and share on this thread when I next see it. Have a lovely weekend!

Thinking further it was more probably a hideous gender reveal party. Fingers very firmly crossed that is was food dye and with the opportunity to bath the pink will fade out
