The pair were still in custody on August 30.
Pigeons were found mutilated on St Neots’ High Street.
However, it is not clear whether the horrific anti-Semitic symbol was engraved when the birds were already dead,
The swastika is synonymous with the Nazi Party and former German leader Adolf Hitler.
Two men who drew a swastika on a black housemate’s door were jailed in a separate incident in June 2023.
The pair also perpetrated a number of other forms of vile and racist abuse in The Whaddons, Huntingdon.
Another swastika was emblazoned on the grass in Cherry Hill, Ely in June 2023.
A statement from Huntingdonshire police posted on social media said: “A man and a woman have been arrested in connection with the death of two pigeons in St Neots.
“Police were called on 22 August with reports dead pigeons with swastikas carved into their chests had been found in the High Street.
“Today officers, from the Huntingdonshire neighbourhood team, arrested a 21-year-old woman from Baldock and a 23-year-old man from Chatteris on suspicion of racial/religious public order.”
