A 53-year-old man from Santa Cruz has been arrested in Tenerife, charged with attempting to smuggle wild, native birds to the mainland.
The arrest was made as the man attempted to board a plane to Madrid, with 30 wild birds hidden in a small cage in his hand luggage.
The birds, members of the species, ‘Serinus Canarias’ , a native canary, were captured in the Arafo area and were taken with the intention of selling the birds in Madrid.
