These homing pigeons couldn’t find home.

An exit off Interstate 95 in Florida was blocked off for more than three hours Wednesday after 100 homing pigeons fell off a truck and refused to move.

Startled by bright lights from vehicles, the birds flew in the air over the road, creating a hazard for motorists, officials said.

Authorities eventually captured 73 of them.

They should have cut it out. Authorities in Texas say they’ve uncovered an illegal couponing ring involving more than 80 people across the United States.

At least three alleged con artists were busted this week.

The investigation started in November 2020 after one of the fraudsters bought more than $200,000 worth of items in one year using counterfeit coupons.
