This pigeon ruffled a few feathers — including its own — by trying to smuggle a cellphone to a jailbird.
The high-tech carrier pigeon flew to the Combita prison in Colombia on a wing and a prayer and was caught outside with the device attached to its back.
It was unclear who hatched the plan for the poor pigeon, which was grabbed by two guards who removed the little harness holding the phone.
Prison officials said they are investigating which inmate was behind the birdbrained mission.
This is not the first time prisoners who think life in the slammer is for the birds have turned to pigeons for help, officials said. Similar occurrences were reported in 2009 and 2011.
