Pants of a Feather?

Imagine sitting in jail with a bunch of criminals and having to admit that it wasn't drugs or illegal weapons you were smuggling into the country, but a pair of pigeons! The 23 year-old man strapped two live pigeons to each of his legs under his tights for the 10-hour flight from Dubai to Australia. The man of Meadow Heights in suburban Melbourne had just landed at Melbourne Airport when customs and border control officers stopped him and searched his bags. Found in the mans pocket was a multi-vitamin container holding two bird eggs, and a further search revealed he was wearing black tights with two live pigeons stuffed inside, one in each leg. Officers also seized a money belt containing plant seeds and undeclared samples of eggplant in the passenger's baggage. It is unknown what the mans intentions were with the two birds but is expected to be charged on summons with wildlife smuggling offences. If convicted, the alleged bird smuggler could face up to 10 years in prison and fines amounting up to $110,000.
