Daytona Beach, FL – When the Volusia Sheriff’s Office (VSO) started receiving calls last night (June 29) around 11 p.m. they had to turn to Volusia County Animal Services (VCAS) to assist on the call. The callers reported 500 white doves blinding drivers on I-95 near the International Speedway Boulevard exits in Daytona Beach. The group effort got bigger when the Florida Highway Patrol (FHP) and Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) also reported to the scene. Investigators say that it’s likely that a crate carrying upwards of 100 homing pigeons fell off a truck, bursting open on the road. VCAS says because birds roost at night, the pigeons stayed on the road, until bright lights from vehicles startled the birds, causing them to fly into the air and create a hazard for drivers. The exit was shut down for almost three hours to keep drivers, rescuers, and pigeons safe. Seventy-three pigeons are being housed at VCAS. Volusia County Ani
