Egyptian authorities have detained a bird that a citizen suspected of being a spy.
Officials say a man took the bird to a police station in the Qena governorate, some 280 miles southeast of Cairo, on Friday.
He suspected the bird was an undercover agent because it carried an electronic device.
The head of security in Qena confirmed that officials examined the bird and the device.
Mohammed Kamal said the device was neither an explosive nor a spying device. It is thought to have probably been a wildlife tracker.
Earlier this year, a security guard filed a police report after capturing a pigeon he said carried microfilm.
