Texas man caught smuggling birds in pants















DEL RIO, Texas (AP) - A Texas man caught trying to
smuggle baby parrots back from Mexico by putting the birds in his pants
has been fined more than $2,600.



U.S. Customs and Border Protection officials said Thursday that agents
in Del Rio also confiscated 56 blades that are used for cockfighting.
Authorities said the 33-year-old man is from the West Texas town of

The small, green parrots were found Sunday in the man's pockets and in his backpack.
