NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - Having a haircut could be the reason for the loss of pigeons to his legs or fingers in France, according to a new study.
Scientists from the National Museum of Natural History and the University of Lyon have long believed that the cause of these abnormalities is a kind of disease, infection, or reaction to a chemical contaminant.
The researchers found that volatile hair intertwined with the feet and toes of the pigeons, a phenomenon called "tendons," which leads to loss of limbs.
Scientists linked the occurrence of this phenomenon to hairdressers and hair volatile as a result of the frequent cases of pigeons who lost limbs in those areas.
The team suggested increasing greenery in an attempt to reduce this phenomenon.
