印尼政府20日接获通报,一艘停靠在巴布亚港口的船只被查获船上有非法走私的74只鹦鹉,而令人震惊的是,嫌犯为了不被发现,将每一只鹦鹉都分别塞进宝特瓶内,手段十分残忍。不幸的是,当警方查获这批走私鹦鹉时,已有10只鹦鹉活活被闷死在内。
综合外媒报导,印尼警方发言人朱乃迪(Dodik Junaidi)表示,当时有一名船员听到箱子内传来奇怪声响,19日打开箱子后,才发现里头竟然有数十只被一一塞进宝特瓶内的鹦鹉,吓得他连忙报警。据了解,被非法走私的鹦鹉是黑顶吸蜜鹦鹉(black-capped lories),是来自纽几内亚与西南太平洋岛屿的原生物种,也是印尼的保育类动物,在非法宠物市场中同样被视为珍宝。

警方到场并清点这批鹦鹉时发现,已经有10只鹦鹉被活活闷死,陈尸宝特瓶内。朱乃迪也表示,由于还未查明这批鹦鹉的发货地与目的地,因此还未逮捕任何涉案人士,
据悉,鸟类交易在印尼的非法宠物市场十分猖獗,此案也并非印尼政府首次破获宝特瓶走私鹦鹉,早在2015年就有一名男子将21只黄冠鹦鹉(yellow-crested cockatoos)分别塞入宝特瓶内走私,不过随后便遭到警方逮捕。
