Pigeon found carrying 178 ecstasy pills in tiny backpack

Drug smugglers are proper inventive bastards. It ain't just coke parcels up the rectum anymore - it's pigeon rucksacks. Yup, tiny little bags of drugs are now being strapped to birds so the smugglers can fly under the raidar (see what I did there?). Moving on.... Authorities in Kuwait found a homing pigeon that had flown in from Iraq, with 178 ecstasy pills attached to it's back in a tiny bag.



People have been using pigeons to carry messages for years now, so I guess it was only a matter of time before people started using them for more sinister reasons. Obviously people on social media went crazy for the little feather drug dealer, and then the jokes started:



To be fair, the backpack totally got me too. It's fucking adorable! They've even matched the colour to his feathers. Those sneaky bastards.
