News article from a while ago that I meant to post:

> **[Suspicious pigeon wearing tiny backpack spotted at B.C. prison for the second...](https://thestarphoenix.com/news/canada/pigeon-wearing-packback-british-columbia-prison/wcm/2e19b63f-c8ac-4fa9-9c2c-0d0557adc009/amp/)**

> Discovery comes a few months after another pigeon was captured carrying a backpack full of meth
