I hope they don’t find the nano-recorders implanted in the power plant engineers’ heads.

Their necks will be wrung, feathers plucked, eviserated, then cooked in a nice french style sauce for a tastey squabl lunch.

Hanging, I'd guess. But it may take time to be effective.

If they are invisible, how do we know they are there? :)

I am sure they will be hanged, unless they are muslim pidgeons then they will be stoned.

They of course, have it all wrong. The pidgeosn would fly back adn WRITE down everything they saw. I dont know what the metal bands are for, perhaps to hold a pencil?

Iran reported they were looking for any other strange “growths” as a result of the radiation.

This is getting serious. A while back, they also captured some GPS equipped spy squirrels.

I heard they also caught some moles on the grounds trying to see what they could dig up!

If they pair them up, they can kill two birds with one...
