Did someone GLUE them on? 'Cowboy' pigeons sporting tiny stetsons are spotted in Las Vegas parking lot

• Footage of stetson-wearing birds has been widely viewed after a local shared it
• Bobby Lee shared video with the caption 'just another day in the neighborhood'
• However some viewers were concerned that the hats may be glued on

A group of cowboy hat-wearing pigeons have been spotted in Las Vegas leading to concerns that someone may be gluing the accessories onto the birds.

Footage of the stetson wearing pigeons has gone viral after it was shared by local Bobby Lee with the caption 'just another day in the neighborhood'.

The birds don't seem to be phased by the headgear as they busily peck the ground in the empty parking lot.

However the hats, each slightly tilted, do not move as the pigeons peck around, suggesting they are glued on. 

In the background a bemused Mr Lee, who is filming from his car, can be heard saying: 'These birds have hats on bro. 

'The s*** you see in my neighborhood.' 

The video was filmed on Thursday in Parkway Villas 'across from 7/11' in Las Vegas and posted to Facebook by Mr Lee.

While some viewers found the footage hilarious others were more concerned for the welfare of the birds. 

Elisabeth Dufault Forte commented: 'Hilarious! The hats aren’t even bothering them!' 

However, Mariah Rea, who owns pigeon rescue centre Lofty Hopes, wrote: 'This is sad. Someone did this. However these are staying on is cruelty.

'If it's glue that's horrible. If it's tied on it will be tangle around their necks

'I'm trying to get a hold of the guy who posted this so we can attempt to trap them and get the hats off. '

Joyce Lupiani added: 'Definitely curious about how the hats are staying on.'

Another concerned viewer named Agatha BowlingHart wrote: 'The hats have been glued on. It's very dangerous. it makes them more prone to predation. Hats on pigeons are cute but not when they're glued on.'
