Mike Tyson's ex-girlfriend ate one of his pet pigeons.
The 46-year-old former boxer - who says his "first love" is pigeon racing and owned almost 350 birds at one point - was horrified when a former flame suggested they should cook one of his feathered friends, and proceeded to eat the creature in front of him.
Asked whether he had ever contemplated eating a pigeon, Mike said: "I tried. I was dating this young lady and she said, 'I don't know why you're flying those damn birds, you should be eating them.'
"She happened to grab one and - and she cooked one and proceeded to eat it. And I just couldn't do it."
The Hangover star - who is happily married to his third wife Lakiha Spicer - admitted he should never have let his ex get away with snacking on of his beloved pets, and the trauma of the event soon led to the demise of their relationship.
