Man caught smuggling pigeons in his trousers

I wonder if there isn't more about this that will be coming out in the future. It is extremely strange someone would take the risks this guy took to smuggle into a country with extreme quarantine laws probably the most common bird in the world. I wonder what the chances are these might be a pair of prize homing pigeons that were stolen from somewhere else at the request of a pigeon racing aficionado in Australia. Top homing pigeons, while being worth well over $100,000US, have been known to get lost in races so it is possible they might be something more than your every day type pigeon. its no... [More]

i was kinda wondering if australia had pigeons- how could they not, its practically the most common bird on earth (or at least here in america) its almost like the guy wanted to be caught... * those things are everywhere where i live, lol- if your eating outside at a restaraunt and drop some bread- like 10-15 of em rush you for the crumbs. and you definetly dont wanna park your car underneath them either

Awkward

The things you wouldn't think could happen does. Wow. I can't see myself waking up one morning and decide to smuggle an animal in a foreign place.

That's so stupidly funny! Who would be that desperate to smuggle pigeons in the first place? Why would the poor birds be stuck in his pants? And why were they tightly wrapped in paper like little pastries? That's just wrong.

I'm not smuggling pigeons I am just really happy to see you. I know that's dumb.

He must of watched Battlestar Galactica finale a lot of times and he thinks that pigeons are Kara Thrace.

I remember I was arrested once when they thought I was smuggling a snake in my trousers, after they searched me they broke into laughter then apologized and said that they don't arrest people for smuggling a tiddly wink.

I remember discussing this when the story first broke....we'll maybe have a rerun of all the 'pecker' jokes now

I remember discussing this when the story first broke....we'll maybe have a rerun of all the 'pecker' jokes now Well a lot of those peckers were carrying disease.
