A fluorescent green pigeon seen wandering around a town centre has left visitors baffled and prompted concerns from the RSPCA about the impact online trends can have on wildlife.

More than four million people have watched videos about the bird on social media. But what is the story behind it?

After the images taken in Northampton began to surface online, some questioned whether they had been created by artificial intelligence or enhanced in some way.

But the team at BBC Verify said there was no evidence of digital manipulation.

There are at least six different videos of the bird on TikTok, with further photos on Facebook.
