Bird smuggling is alive and well the world over, for whatever reason - bird fighting, desirable species, new blood, you name it.

Here the link to a current court case in Belgium.
The offender is claimed to have made a profit of 800.000 Euro. or on todays exchange rate AU $1,213344.00

Sorry the artikle is in "Belgian", poor b.... don't even have their own language.....ooooops.

Seeing all them dead birds is tragic. And for fighting! If it was for breeding one could feel a little empathy.
