Police recently arrested a Kazak man trying to smuggle 500 parrots in his car from neighbouring Uzbekistan. Border guards are said to have discovered a live cargo of 500 parrots in his Audi. It was unclear how the parrots fit into the Kazakh man’s Audi. Trade in wild parrots is banned around the world, according to the U.N. Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora.
