Border Agents Find Sedated Parakeets Hidden in Man’s Underwear at Entry
Title says it all. Though, looking at the picture, I’m pretty sure those are parrots.
I gave the headline as a prompt to MidJourney and it refused the commission until I changed “underwear” to “trousers”. It really is like someone’s maiden aunt.

How does one sedate a parakeet? Feed him cannabis seeds? I wouldn’t want a stoned parakeet in my pants to wake up with the munchies. Owie.
BTW, the term parakeet refers to multiple species, all of them parrots. Some are quite a bit larger than the little cuties you seen in a pet shop.

I guess then you can’t get it to draw a picture of the old Steve Martin tune “the grandmother song” where one of the lines was “put a live chicken in your underwear”.

Uncle Al,
According to the American Academy of Veteranary Medicine, you should never sedate for travel. I doubt smugglers care though.
A mix of vodka and Valium sould do the trick.
Here’s a guide to a avian sedation and anesthesia for procedures:
