Officials say the three pigeons were first discovered in December wearing miniature red cowboy hats in Las Vegas.

 

Lofty Hopes Pigeon Rescue employees say It wasn't certain if the bird's death was connected to the hat. Billie is survived by two other former cowboy pigeons — Cluck Norris and Coolamity Jane.
