Indonesian Police intercept dozens of smuggled parrots

Andrea from Eden Terrace

Indonesian Police intercepted an unusual cargo on Friday after a large container began emitting strange noises.
Police from the small town of Fakfak in the west Papua reported the discovery of 74 black-caped parrots, ten of which had died in transport, each stuffed into plastic drinking bottles.
10 of the parrots stuffed in plastic bottles died in the journey.
