For the birds

Call this one a “coo” for Customs agents at the Lewiston-Queenston Bridge. Forget drugs or weapons….they caught a pigeon smuggler!

Really. Pigeons. Agents say they became suspicious of the guy, who told them he was returning to the US from a visit to Hamilton. When they searched his luggage, they say they found three live pigeons wrapped in newspaper and hidden in his clothing.

According to Customs, Mr. Bird Brain is a US citizen who was born in Serbia. Apparently that fact is important. Do Serbians have a thing for birds? The guy told agents he collects pigeons as a hobby. Dude….try stamps or coins.

The pigeons were turned over to the Department of Agriculture, which will probably set them free so they can crap on our cars.
