Bedazzled pigeon found in Arizona city reunited with owners

PEORIA, Ariz. � A pigeon that had flown the coop with only its bedazzled vest is nesting back home in Phoenix.

The Arizona Republic reported Marlette Fernando and her husband were reunited Tuesday with their pet pigeon, Olive.

The bird was brought to the Fallen Feathers bird rescue center in Peoria more than a week ago.

Center director Jody Kieran said she knew the pigeon had to be someone�s feathered friend when she saw the rhinestone-studded vest.

The organization posted a picture of the bird and the vest on Facebook.

Fernando said a friend saw the post. She said Olive went missing from their home Nov. 7.

Fallen Feathers had planned to put the bird up for adoption if nobody came forward after one month.
