Six ’emaciated’ pigeons were dumped in a box and abandoned by the side of the road.
One of the birds had already starved to death by the time the grim discovery – on Cherry Tree Drive in Hazel Grove, Stockport – was made on Saturday.
The other birds were so skinny that their bones were visible.
A resident found the pigeons at the side of her driveway and alerted the RSPCA after realising they were not in good health.
Inspector Heather Morris was sent to the scene and found the five surviving birds were very unwell. They were emaciated, lame, had pigeon pox and were very dirty.
They were taken to the RSPCA’s Stapeley Grange Wildlife Centre where a vet assessed them and decided the kindest thing to do would be to put them to sleep to end their suffering.
Inspector Morris said: “It is really unusual to have pigeons abandoned and it was so sad to see them in such a sorry state.
“Whoever allowed to them to get like that would have known they were unwell and emaciated – that doesn’t happen overnight. Their bones were visible they were so thin.
“I believe they were in this box for 24 to 48 hours and during that time the starving birds were without food and water.
“It is so cruel to just dump animals like this, if they are ill they should be taken to the vets to be put out of their misery but not left to suffer a lingering death.”
She said one bird was ringed but the details were out of date. There was a name on the rings which read “Behrooz”.
The cardboard box was also distinctive with the words ‘Private Reserve Fries’ written on the side.
Inspector Morris added: “I would like to appeal to anyone who recognises the name on the ring or knows of this type of pigeon in the area to come forward.”

Zee TV’s popular show Guddan… Tumse Na Ho Payega (Ved Raj’s Shoonya Square Productions) will see a cute track involving a pigeon who will become Guddan’s (Kanika Mann) pet and confidante in quick time.
As we know, Guddan has been given the responsibilities of the house and she has been careless at her job.
Soon, a pigeon will make an entry into the house and into Guddan’s heart. The pigeon will turn to be Guddan’s saviour whenever she would do a mistake. The pigeon will basically safeguard the house keys that Guddan handles.
As per a reliable source, “The pigeon will no doubt help Guddan but a few problems will also get created because of its presence. In one instance, it will dirty Akshat’s (Nishant Malkani) suit and this will anger him. And Guddan will be given the duty of cleaning it up in quick time.”
We hear that two cute pigeons have been given shelter on the set of Guddan Tumse Na Ho Payega for this particular track.
“They have become the centre of attraction on the set in quick time,” a source from the set says.
Aww!!
Are you all excited to see Guddan’s saviour the ‘khabootar’ in action?

Bizarrely, the man explained that he was trying to use the birds as bait to recapture his pet owl, which had escaped. He was caught in a public area of woodland near Wakefield and had his children with him at the time. The air rifle was seized by police and the owner reported for firearms offences.

Nuisance pigeons have ruffled a few feathers among diners at restaurants at Chatham Maritime.
And now site managers have chosen a humane way of getting rid of the pests – they have brought in a flying squad.
Trained falcons have proved successful in deterring the birds at Pier Five where there are a number of al fresco eateries.
The most common is the harris hawk, which are natural predators of pigeons and therefore their regular presence scares them away.
Chatham Maritime is home to several restaurants and with views across the water, is popular with diners wanting to sit outside and soak up the atmosphere.
But the food was also attracting birds looking for scraps.
Chatham Maritime Trustees have hired Rentokil Pest Control experts to eradicate the problem.
Rentokil’s operations manager Paul Catlin said: “The pigeons are a genuine problem for a number of the traders at Pier Five.
“A humane approach was the best way of dealing with them.
“Hawking represents a natural way to deter birds in urban areas without harm, while protecting visitors, residents and traders.”
The pigeons love of food has encouraged them to come into regular human contact, with some brazenly approaching customers around the marina area.
Rentokil has hired falconers to carry out the task.
Falconer Marc Bushell is a regular visitor with his hawk, Oliver.
The birds, which are trained at The Hawking Centre at Doddington, near Sittingbourne, protect landmarks and places of special interest throughout the south, including London.
Katie Kinnes, from Rentokil, said: “Hawking is becoming more and more popular and, with some areas being inaccessible, it is often the only way of resolving the nuisance.”
Liam Merrett, a supervisor at Pier Five and Kitchen, said it had proved quite a novelty see a falconer walking along the quayside with a hawk.
Mr Merrett said: “We are quite sheltered here and we have patio heaters, so our customers like to eat and drink out even in the winter months.
“It’s a nice setting looking out on to the marina.”
The regular presence of raptors alters the behaviour of pigeons and gulls, who learn to avoid areas where the birds of prey are frequently flown, moving on to nest or roost elsewhere.

The bird was wearing a specially made vest decorated with gold and silver rhinestones. It was turned into a shelter, which posted a photo of it and its bedazzled outfit — trying to locate the owner.
The other day, a woman in Peoria, Ariz., found an unusual bird in her backyard – not some exotic breed. No, this was just a gray pigeon, but it was dressed to impress. The bird was wearing a specially made vest decorated with gold and silver rhinestones. The woman turned it into a shelter, which posted a photo of the bird and its bedazzled outfit, trying to locate the owner. They say they want the pigeon to get home for the holidays. But based on what it was wearing, maybe the pigeon had somewhere else to go.

A Somerset wildlife rescue has issued a strong warning about the danger of air guns after a pigeon was shot and seriously injured in Weston-super-Mare.
Staff at Secret World Wildlife Rescue, in East Huntspill, were left shocked and angry after they were forced to put down a pigeon which had been shot with an air gun on Remembrance Sunday (November 11).
When the pigeon arrived at the animal rescue centre, Sarah Tingvoll, Section Leader at Secret World, successfully removed the metal pellet from the bird’s wing, but made the tough decision to put the bird to sleep to prevent any further suffering.
“This is a very sad story but putting the bird to sleep was the right thing to do for its welfare,” Sarah said.
“We know most gun owners use their guns in a responsible way, but this horrific case should serve as a permanent reminder that the consequences of using a pellet or air gun irresponsibly can be deadly.”
Carrier pigeons played an important role in World War I and World War II and were used to send messages from the battlefield thanks to their speed, flying altitude and ability to make their way home.
Sarah added: “The fact that this bird fell victim to a gun shot on Remembrance Day makes this story even more heartbreaking and poignant.
“Carrier pigeons played a pivotal role in both world wars and their role is often overlooked.”
After World War II, 32 pigeons were awarded with the Dickin Medal – a medal used to honour the work of war animals.
