Parrot arrested for aiding drug cartel
September 17, 2010 - telegraph.co.uk
A parrot in Colombia has been arrested after it was seized during a
police drugs raid.
According to environmental authorities, Lorenzo the parrot was trying
to tip-off a local drug cartel when officers conducted an undercover
raid early Wednesday.
"This parrot was sending out alerts," said police officer Hollman
Oliveira. "You could say he was some sort of watch bird."
Authorities claim Lorenzo is one of nearly 1700 parrots seized by
officials after being trained by drug traffickers to act as lookouts.
Lorenzo caused quite the stir on Wednesday as he was presented to
journalists. The well trained creature even showed off his look out
skills as he yelled out: "run, run you are going to get caught."
Despite Lorenzo's attempts, Veloza's officers still managed to seize
more than two-hundred weapons, a stolen motorcycle and a large quantity
of marijuana.
At least four men and two other birds were also arrested in the raids.

That's pretty ingenious.
