Warsaw - A 54-year old dove-keeper was arrested in northern Poland when he starved at least 100 birds to death, Polish Radio reported on Monday.
The man identified only as Zbigniew R, told police he lost the key to his loft and couldn't feed the birds for a week.
He faces up to a year in prison.
Police were informed of the case by a neighbour, who had earlier forced the loft doors open in an attempt to rescue the doves.
