Man caught with pigeons in his pants

An Austrailian traveler was caught with two live pigeons stuffed in his pants following a trip to the Middle East.  The 23-year-old man was searched after authorities discovered two eggs in a vitamin container in his luggage.  They found the pigeons wrapped in padded envelopes and held to each leg with a pair of tights.  The alleged bird smuggler is looking at 10 years in prison and $70,000 in fines.

The birds were not rare and they could not figure out why he tried to sneak the birds through the airport.

I rather enjoyed reading about this guy and got a kick out of thinking about him in jail telling his cell-mates why he was there.  I'm sure that some of them really will take a liking to him.  I also thought that the title of the article should've been....... Man has three birds in his pants or......  Are you happy to see me or is that just some pigeons in your pants?
