Bird Bling. A new symbol of wealth among pigeon flocks.
The pigeon with a bread necklace: How bird got more than he bargained for after searching for food
A peckish pigeon got more than he bargained for when he swooped down to eat a piece of bread – and found himself wearing it instead.
The pigeon couldn’t believe his luck when he spotted the large piece of bread in a park in Poland.
The bird swooped down, grabbed the piece of bread and tossed it up in the air, only for it to land around its neck and out of reach from its beak.
Photographer Jaroslaw Porzezinski, 42, spotted the bird while walking in a park near to his home in Szczecin, Poland.
He said he spotted the bird looking rather sorry for itself as it tried to eat – or at best shake off – its latest accessory.
Jaroslaw said: ‘The poor bird was in a right flap.
‘At first I thought to myself that bird has an unusual collar, he looked really funny.
‘It’s remarkable how he actually ended up wearing the bread, I’m sure its not normal behaviour for a pigeon.’
‘The poor bird must have been hungry so I gave him some food, but I couldn’t get close enough to take the bread off from around his neck.
‘So when I went home this pigeon was still wearing the bread but was pecking away at the food I gave him.’
Though it is a sick chain, were not sure whether they will be featured in any rap videos anytime soon!

A woman has been fined £150 by her local council for feeding a piece of sausage roll to a pigeon. Sally-Ann Fricker fed the bird while shopping with her three children in Bath.
Her daughter, Toni Bradley, said they were approached ‘seconds later’ by an officer for littering, despite the pigeon flying away with the food.
Toni said: ‘If she’d chucked the wrapper down then that would have been fair enough, but this was absolutely ridiculous, we were very upset and very shocked.’
According to Bath and North East Somerset Council, those caught littering face a £150 fine, reduced to £100 if paid within 14 days.
Councillor Dave Wood, cabinet member for climate change and the environment, said the authority would review whether the fine was appropriate in this incident.
However, he added that there are notices on many streets asking the public not to feed pigeons as they are a ‘public nuisance’.
Daughter Toni was outraged at the fine, adding that her mum is a carer and the fine was worth more than her weekly earnings.
She said: ‘When I got home my three-year-old asked me to take down the bird feeder from the garden “because nanny got into trouble” for feeding them.’
Wood added that councils and their contractors should use ‘common sense’ with situations like Sally-Ann’s.
‘I have asked officers to urgently look into this matter and review the action taken with the contractor, to determine whether it was proportionate,’ he said.
He added: ‘As a general point, pigeons and gulls cause a public nuisance and are part of the problem the council has to manage when dealing with litter on the streets. ‘There are notices all over the city asking people not to feed birds.’
