Dear All,
I found this item http://morrisonworldnews.com/?p=33283 regarding a woman was apprehended trying to smuggle 8 Gryrfalcons out of Russia, (not on her body) interesting. You will have to scroll down a bit.
The rapid rise in the popularity of Falconry in the Middle East has caused a great demand for raptors. I wonder if the smugglers have started to look at Australia for something different.
Cheers,
