Here Is a Photo of a Headless, Frozen Pigeon in Prospect Park
Happy belated Valentine's Day.

PROSPECT PARK, BROOKLYN — Looks like Brooklyn’s rare painted bunting got out just in time.
No matter how crappy your polar vortex of a Valentine’s Day weekend was this year, surely you had a better go of it than the Prospect Park pigeon pictured above, whose frozen body was discovered belly-up Sunday in a patch of snowy grass at the park.
With a cleanly severed neck. And no head in sight.
Reddit user Timothy Davis told Patch he entered the park at Ocean and Parkside avenues that day, as temperatures dipped well below freezing.
“I walked about 20 feet towards the ice skating rink and there I found the poor fellow,” he said.
R.I.P. — and mad respect. The headless pigeon of Prospect Park was no rare bunting, but he was a stubborn native. Certainly not the kind of ninny who picks up and migrates at the first sign of arctic freeze.
