A man was caught at JFK Airport on Monday allegedly trying to smuggle in 35 live finches from Guyana — stuffed inside plastic hair curlers and concealed inside his clothes, authorities said.
Kevin Andre McKenzie is just the latest alleged would-be songbird smuggler busted using the hair-accessory method to bring in the coveted creatures, which are used in high-stakes singing contests popular in Brooklyn and Queens
After McKenzie deplaned from a JetBlue flight originating in Georgetown, Guyana, CBP agents found the small seed-eating birds inside the curlers, which were covered with a mesh cloth, and then concealed inside his jacket and pants, according to the criminal complaint filed in the Eastern District of New York.

Who needs an Ipod, when you have finches singing for you?
I heard once of the finches said, "I'm as mad as hell, and I'm not going to take this anymore! "

When they heard all that chirping and tweeting, at first they thought he just had some kind of exotic jungle gas problem.

He was charged with the illegal importation of wildlife and was released on a $25,0000 bond... That's it?
What about an additional 35 counts of ANIMAL CRUELTY?

Seriously. We have folks writing End Times threads every time an asteroid flies anywhere nearby. Why don’t they write one when one of these stories gets posted?

I had to read this one twice before it set in...then I HAD to read the article.
I was disappointed that the guy didn't have the curlers in his hair.

Talking about you, Mr. Roman!
If a random asteroid passes between Jupiter and Earth, it’s the Rapture!
But a guy stuffs 35 live finches inside hair curlers and smuggles them onto a plane and it’s NOT the End Times??
Sheesh!

Just imagine what would have happened if this idiot had stuffed them down his pants?
