Dozens of pigeons packed in a cardboard box were found last month inside a rest stop trash container along Interstate 65 in western White County.
According to a story from the Associated Press, Indiana State Police released a statement Thursday about the Dec. 10, 2018, incident. About 60 pigeons were “packaged” in boxes and left as garbage at the rest stop near mile marker 196. They were discovered by Trooper David Vido.
With the help of Kim Hoover, a wildlife rehabilitator from Pulaski County, and Kelly Thomas, vice president of “A Critter’s Chance,” a nonprofit based in Plainfield that specializes in exotic/domestic pet rescues, about 57 pigeons were recovered from the trash bin.
Hoover told the AP the pigeons most likely came from a homing pigeon race, where the birds are taken to a designated location and fly back to their roost. Hoover said it is rumored to have large sums of money tied to betting on when and if the pigeons will return.

BUCKHANNON — Pesky pigeons have become more than just a nuisance at the Upshur County Courthouse. Their droppings are causing problems with the most iconic feature of the 1899 structure — its dome and cupola.
Commissioner Terry Cutright said, “They are damaging the dome. The feces they are dropping is acidic and we are afraid that it is going to start eating holes in the dome.”
County administrator Carrie Wallace said that comparing photos of the dome and cupola from a year ago to more recent photos is “astounding.”
More pigeons began roosting around the courthouse after their access point to another nearby building was closed off.
To shoo away the pigeons, the commission has tried other measures such as a noise machine.
“The county already purchased a noise machine that was basically guaranteed to take care of the pigeons,” she said. “It has not worked. They basically just moved up a story.
“This is needed to prevent further deterioration of the dome and cupola,” she said. “They have tried other avenues with the pigeons that have not worked. At this point, it’s either install the spikes or have to renovate the dome again in another few years.”
On Thursday, the Upshur County Commission approved a request for proposals to go out for a dome cleaning and pigeon spike installation project.
All sealed bids must be received no later than 4 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 12. For more information and a bid packet, visit www.upshurcounty.org/government/commission–office/bid.php.
“It is estimated that 1,200 linear feet of spikes will be required to do all the locations where the pigeons are perching or could possibly perch on the dome and the cupola,” Wallace said. “There is also the unknown of where the pigeons are going to relocate.”
Maintenance director Greg Harris expects there to be 500 linear feet left over that could do some of the window sills and other areas where the pigeons like to be, including right outside county clerk Carol Smith’s office.
The sealed bids will be opened at the Feb. 14 commission meeting.
The commission also approved a request for bids for the Community Oriented Policing Services camera surveillance project. All sealed bids must be received by 4 p.m. Tuesday, March 5 and will be opened at the March 7 commission meeting. The Upshur and Lewis County School Systems received a U.S. Department of Justice grant of just over $309,000 to fund the project.
The Upshur County Commission was the applicant for the grant on behalf of the schools.
Commission president Sam Nolte said, “This is a great project; it’s nice that we got the grant.”

Dozens of pigeons are recovering after the birds were discovered in a dumpster at a highway rest stop in Northwest Indiana.
Indiana State Police say the 57 birds were packed into boxes at a rest stop on I-65 north of Lafayette when they were found Dec. 10.
Kelly Thomas of the animal rescue organization “A Critters Chance” says the birds were caked in filth and unable to move.
Some birds died of malnutrition, but the rest appear to be getting better, she said.
“They’re starting to preen themselves. They’re trying to flap their wings. They’re gaining strength, they’re perching,” Thomas said.
The pigeons will be placed up for adoption, and she says they make great pets.
“Pigeons are quiet and they are affectionate and smart. They are very pretty. They’re just very good birds,” Thomas said.
Police believe the pigeons were used in an illegal pigeon-gambling race.

Police in Indiana say dozens of live pigeons found in cardboard boxes in a dumpster may have been used in races in which bets are placed on when the birds will arrive at their roosts after being released elsewhere.
State police said Thursday that Trooper David Vido found 57 pigeons in cardboard boxes Dec. 10 at a rest stop in White County along Interstate 65, about 85 miles (137 kilometers) northwest of Indianapolis.
Five were dead and two others died later. The survivors will be put up for adoption.
Police initially said they believed the birds were used in an illegal gambling race where their wings are clipped and they race around a track. Later Thursday, police said the pigeons were unable to fly when they were recovered due to their poor condition.
