Man allegedly rips off heads of two pigeons using bare hands

A man allegedly ripped off the heads of two pigeons using his bare hands.

The pigeons were left in a pool of blood on Tuesday afternoon near the war memorial at Norwich market to the horror of onlookers.

The police are investigating the incident, which happened at about 2pm.


Jenny Coupland, who runs Team Pigeon, a pigeon welfare group who helps care for injured pigeons in the city, said: "I was walking along the War Memorial Gardens and came across two decapitated pigeons.

"I could tell instantly that these birds had been deliberately killed by a person, not a gull or sparrow hawk.
