It hasn't hit the media yet, I somehow doubt it will.
Indonesian Air Force Pilots accused of trying to smuggle parrots - The Australian

Anyway, not to worry. I now know, for my next parrot-smuggling run, all I need is an Indo AF pilots uniform, and I'll be sweet ...
At $25,000 or $30,000 a parrot, half a dozen will set me up nicely for a while. 
If I'm just unlucky enough to get caught, I know the penalty will be just be a light smack on the hand with a wet lettuce, and a stern remonstration - "off you go, then!"

Well, I looked but they weren't up when I did so.
Good to see that the MSN isn't shying away from reporting it.
Big money in smuggling wildlife and Aust has heaps of it that everyone else
wants so it's not surprising they tried, they (The Indos) would probably get 5 years wages in one hit.

I thought the title would be the one about the pilot who walked into a bar with a duck on his head, the barman said "where did you get that", the duck said "dunno it just grew out of my arse!"
