I've Been Thinking:
I have written about this before.
It happened in Iran and it happened in several of the Gulf states. And now it happened in Turkey.
A bird with an Israeli tag was arrested for espionage.
The bird was thought to be a spy with cameras and microchips or even -explosives. After an investigation which included an x-ray this bird, like others, was set free to fly away.
The bird that was just arrested in Turkey had a metal ring tag on its leg which read 24311 Tel Avivunia Israel. Of course, that would frighten any reasonable person who would then frantically call the police and the secret security service. This particular bird was found and captured in the Agin district of the eastern province of Elazig.
The incident was reported in the national Turkish newspaper Hurriyet - usually a reliable source. In this case at, least, Hurriyet maintained a sense of humor and concluded their piece with the sentence:
"Following the tests, the authorities decided not to press official charges and the falsely accused bird was free to fly away."
