Woman Arrested For Stealing Rare Parrot In Her Bra
POSTED: 6:35 am EST November 8, 2005
FORT MYERS, Fla. -- A woman has been arrested for padding her bra -- with a stolen rare parrot.
Not weird enough? Read more strange news LOOK! Strange News Photos Jill Knispel, 35, of Englewood, hid the Greenwing parrot in her bra after taking it from her employer, Baby Exotic Birds of Englewood, police said.
When Knispel went to trade the bird for a vintage car, she told the car's owner how she got the animal, according to the Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission. Turns out the car's owner is friends with the man who owns the $2,000 bird.
DNA tests confirmed the bird's identity and Knispel was charged with grand theft.
"The circumstances of the case are the most bizarre I've ever encountered," said veteran wildlife investigator Lenny Barshinger.

I'm trying to figure out how to fit one of those in a bra--and why anyone would be stupid enough to try.

Better than the Sandy Berger method. Especially considering the sharp beak!

Surely she looked a little out of kilter with only one cup stuffed with a bird.
This is a funny incident alright, but it's no hooter.

Stuffing that bird in a bra would make the bra about a double F size, wouldn't it? And then what would you do with the tail?
