A man is arrested at Miami International Airport after federal prosecutors say customs officers discovered 10 live birds hidden in his underwear during an inspection. The discovery follows officers noticing a bulge, leading them to find multiple tubes containing the birds.
Authorities say the man traveled to Miami from Havana, Cuba. Outlets describe the case with similar details: the birds are concealed internally rather than in luggage, and the arrest happens during airport screening. One report characterizes the accused’s explanation as “personal use,” while another focuses on the investigation and how security identified the concealment. The accounts largely agree on the number of birds, their status as live animals, and that the incident occurs in Miami as he attempts to enter the United States.
