Sometimes animal lovers go a bit overboard in how they treat their pets.<\/p>\n
It is not unusual to see a cat or dog ridiculously dressed by their owner and paraded around.<\/p>\n
But one Dutch man has adopted a completely different approach to make sure he did not lose his hummingbirds.<\/p>\n
After taking a flight to Cayenne in French Guiana, he was detained as he was spotted acting suspiciously.<\/p>\n
And when officials completed a search on him, they discovered he was looking to smuggle 12 hummingbirds into the country.<\/p>\n
Worst of all, he had tried to hide them in his pants, which must have been a sweaty experience for the feathered friends.<\/p>\n
They had been sedated and individually wrapped in cloth to try and minimise their movement while up in the air.<\/p>\n
Apparently it is not the first time the male has tried something like this and it follows on from a man being caught in Miami with seven snakes and three tortoises in his trousers.<\/p>\n
