Do you really want angry hummingbirds with long, needle-like beaks right next to your wiener like that?
And why would anybody want to smuggle hummingbirds in the first place? It's easier to just take a hummingbird feeder with you and hang it up when you get there.

Yes.
Who says a bird in the hand is worth at least dozen in the bush? Maybe all he wanted was a hummer.

Depends where he was travelling to.
I could hang up half a dozen feeder in my garden without any luck!

This guy is going to federal pound-me-in-the-a-prison for this one. Poor little fellows ... they supposed to pick flowers, not crotches.

In 2010, French customs officers at the Rochambeau airport in Cayenne, French Guiana after noticing some suspicious bulges, conducted an intimate pat-down of a Dutch tourist and found some tiny parcels in some very personal space.

The guy with his shorts full of hummingbirds was reported to be a repeat offender; he was allegedly intercepted at the same airport with an accomplice and a cargo of 53 hummingbirds two years prior to this photographed encounter. I was unable to find record of the convict’s previous offence, but in the 2010 incident, he was fined €6000. The value of his catch was estimated to be between €10,400 and €13,200...

What with the state of airline amenities, I suppose he could have been just carrying some snacks.

Maybe he just wanted his weiner to look bigger.

That's why I like chicks with small hands.

Deterence fail.

Humdinger?

CaliforniaMama · 09-28-2011, 09:14 AM

I wonder how they catch them? Hummingbirds are very quick little critters (can you call a bird a critter?).

Sundae, here is a virtual hummingbird feeder for you.

I thought this odd when I first read about it because I have never heard of anybody keeping hummingbirds as pets.

Gravdigr · 09-28-2011, 05:04 PM

Hummingbirds have big peckers. Comparatively.
