A man found operating on a pigeon that he sedated with vodka was later arrested after animal control officers raided his house and discovered about 300 living and dead birds inside.
“There’s droppings everywhere,” Patrick Wren, the head of Torrance’s animal control department, said Wednesday. “I’m wearing a mask. That says it all.”
About 120 dead pigeons filled bags and boxes alongside Gerard Redmond Enright Jr.’s home, officials said. Other birds in pet carriers throughout the house were euthanized because they were sick or malnourished, Wren said.
County health officials declared the home unfit for humans.

Patrick Wren–HAH!
Am I the only one who finds it hilarious that the official’s name was “Wren”?
I had a great uncle that raised squab, and I though he was strange. Yes I’ve eaten them, and no I didn’t like them. I do like a good duck.
“Patrick Wren, the head of Torrance’s animal control department” does he report to Chistopher Robin, or Sam Crow?
