KUWAIT CITY: Pigeons usually known to carry messages of love and peace caught in while carrying out an illegal act in Kuwait. Custom officials have seized 178 pills wrapped around a pigeon. The Customs department’s employees tracked a homing pigeon that was coming from Iraq and caught it above a building near the customs’ department, Kuwaiti newspaper Al-Rai reported.
Homing pigeons were used in the past to carry messages as messenger pigeons and they crossed a distance of approximately 100 miles. At first, pigeons only delivered messages but now trained to deliver drugs across border.
