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.

Yeah,
But thats about sporting falcons and eagles. Which probably do as poorly as parrots in capture.
As for this 'rare' baby bird in the story, if it's worth only 2000 bucks, then it's more likely a very common macaw or cockatoo. Not rare at all.
She should have gone for a Hyacinth at 10,000 or a Major Mitchells or Black Palm (30,000 each)....THEN you're stealing something!!!
