Parrot Used as Lookout by Drug Traffickers Taken in by Police

Submitted by dguard on
This is proof that, under prohibition, traffickers will pretty much do anything. Lorenzo the parrot was taken into police custody in Colombia after he was found warning members of a drug trafficking organization that they were in danger of being caught. Lorenzo has been handed over to environmental authorities, who claim he is one of about 1700 parrots seized after being trained to act as lookouts for drug traffickers.
