DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (AP) — An exit off Interstate 95 in Florida had to be closed for three hours after 100 homing pigeons fell off a truck and refused to move, posing a driving hazard to motorists. A crate carrying 100 homing pigeons fell off the truck late Tuesday near Daytona Beach. Because the birds roost at night, the pigeons stayed on the road until bright lights from vehicles startled them. They flew into the air and created a hazard for drivers. Sheriff’s deputies and animal service workers attempted to capture the pigeons, recovering 73 fowl. An official statement called it a “ worst case scenario — homing pigeons that can’t find their home.”
