Customs officers at Miami International Airport arrested a 40‑year‑old Cuban man on 4 October after finding ten live birds hidden in his underwear, where six plastic containers had been sewn into black pockets.
The birds, identified as eight tomtates de la tierra and two picogruesos azules, are species commonly involved in illegal trade and the man lacked the required import documentation; he was released on $25,000 bail and must appear again on 26 October for a charge reading.
