Pigeon flashed by a speed camera

In a different incident in Bocholt in the western part of Germany, a pigeon was flashed by a speed camera as it violated the speed limit. According to reports, the pigeon was flying at a speed of 45km/h in a zone with a speed limit of 30km/h and since then the picture went viral.

Reportedly, one person was of the opinion that it was a racing pigeon whereas someone else was of the opinion that the bird in question should serve a community service sentence as a carrier pigeon.
