On inspection, the black zipper bag was found to contain 14g of cocaine and the same amount of marijuana. Authorities suspect the bird was looked after and fed by an inmate in the medium-security wing of La Reforma prison, Costa Rica’s biggest penitentiary, before someone smuggled it out of the prison only to load it with illicit cargo ahead of its return route.

The director of Costa Rica’s prison police force told the media after the ruse had been exposed last Tuesday that the pigeon was able to fly perfectly well despite the drug-stuffed pouch strapped against its breast.

Im not entirely sure on the homing pigeon process, but they only fly home, not to anywhere, right? Can they have two "homes"?

Somehow they fly wherever you want them to. Mike Tyson had a documentary done about him which touches on it.

if they can do that, then not sure why this isnt a huge enterprise. For dope dealers, this is better than having little kids hold the dope.

Some asian guy in lake charles got busted doing that years back. Think the pigeon was flying LC to Port Arthur.
