HUBER HEIGHTS -- Police on Thursday removed at least 60 animals from a Huber Heights home. Authorities found all kinds of animals, including birds, pigeons, chickens, parakeets and rabbits.
We talked to neighbors, who didn't want to be identified, but they say the smell coming from the house was unbearable.
"To look in their back yard, there's no grass, it's all dirt and nasty feces just everywhere," a neighbor said.
"You'll hear all types of birds, animal noises, never know what is back there," said another neighbor.
Health officials wore masks as they entered the home for fear of catching a disease from the pigeons inside.
It's unclear if the man who lived in the house had health problems.
"Every time he breathes, if he's exposed, if they have it ... funnels into his lungs as well as anybody else that enters," said Sheila Marquis of the Humane Society of Greater Dayton.
Authorities say the owner probably tried to take care of the animals, but became overwhelmed.
No charges have been filed but police say the man living in that house could face animal neglect charges.
