“When customs officials at Los Angeles International Airport spotted feathers and bird droppings on one passenger’s shoes they were immediately suspicious. And when the man’s name was checked against records, they noticed America’s Fish and Wildlife department had put out a warning about Sony Dong. Three months earlier, he had abandoned a suitcase containing 18 rare songbirds at the same airport.
