Guards at Abbotsford Prison in British Columbia, Canada, captured a carrier pigeon in the courtyard of the facility that had 30 grams of crystal meth tied like a "backpack" on its back.

There are 500 prisoners in the Canadian prison, and it was not possible for the guards to figure out who had organized the traffic "by air".

It is the first time in recent history that a pigeon used for drug smuggling has been captured: as reported by the media, almost a century ago there was talk of a pigeon with capsules full of cocaine tied to its legs transiting from Mexico to Texas , and in the following decades the practice continued, from North America to Europe to Asia.

Correctional officers have increasingly sought drones that deliver drugs into prison facilities in recent years, but the crackdown on such devices has intensified, said John Randle, Pacific regional president of the Union of Canadian Correctional Officers , smugglers are reverting to "old school" methods like pigeons.
