Most of us would be mystified looking at a pink pigeon. So are the people in the UK after a pink pigeon showed up in Bury town centre.

The bird was spotted accepting food from the locals as well as on rooftops in the area, BBC reported.

Greater Manchester Police said some of its officers on foot patrol had also come across the "rare pink pigeon in the town centre".

Locals are wondering whether the bird has been dyed or is naturally pink.

Samantha Brown, 43, said: "I saw someone give it a chip. Everyone's wondering why it's pink but it adds a bit of colour to the place. "I think it's dyed but who knows?"
