Drug laws seem to constantly push narcotics traffickers to new heights of creativity. The latest example is the use of pigeons as marijuana carriers.
Buenos Aires, Argentina, a small-time group of dope dealers trained two white doves to carry pot from a safehouse where they were growing the stuff to a building where they were selling it to distributors. Argentine police busted the group earlier this week and confiscated their pigeons.
Officials said that the birds carried up to 13 grams of weed in each flight, in small pouches tied around their necks. With pigeons they could ship their drugs without taking any risks.
Pigeons have been used to deliver messages for centuries.

The city Psel River in Ukraine, wants the area to look beautiful and clean, in particular a monument to the poet Taras Shevchenko.
So what method have they chosen to stop pigeons fouling up the monument and surrounding areas? Birds of Prey?, shoot them?, trap them? Nope. Well What then?
Alexei Movchan, who heads the city branch of the ruling Party of Regions has said “Let’s give them wine-soaked bread and then deport them somewhere where they’ll wake up the next day,”. Yup the answer to get rid of the pesky pigeons is to get them roaring drunk, deport them to a different part of Ukraine in the hopes that they wake up with such a big hangover that they will have forgotten where they live.
Movchan denied the controversial move would infringe animal rights groups, insisting it is a tried and tested custom practiced regularly by an Orthodox Christian monastery in west Ukraine.

Pigeon Patrol releases this breaking story:
A number of panicked Russians have contacted the authorities to report concerns over the bizarre behavior of pigeons in Moscow.
Locals have dubbed the birds “zombie pigeons” after a strange change in their behavior swept the city – leaving the birds extremely lethargic and seemingly fearless.
Moscow resident named Umid said: “When a person walks past them, they used to fly away. But now they just sit there in a kind of funk and don’t even pay attention to you. They’re just not normal.” Umid went on to say: “I’ve seen some pigeons behaving very strangely, turning around in circles”.
Officials have dubbed the birds “the pecking dead” branding the epidemic a “bird apocalypse”.
One other resident reported a pigeon losing its balance and falling through an open window frame, while others described birds resting their beaks on the ground or walking round and round in circles.
For the time being, locals are advised to stay away from any pigeon that is behaving strangely and to call the local authorities if they come across a dead bird.
