Jailbird

Part of me really wants to know the story behind this next tweet, and part of me doesn’t want to Google it because I would rather imagine the rest of the story myself. What brings a police department to arrest a bird? Were they just super bored? Were there no other crimes in the area that day?

How do you arrest a bird? Do you put handcuffs on it? And can you really say that you have arrested something when it does not have the mental capacity to wrap its head around the fact that it has been arrested? Maybe someone just really wanted to be able to use the pun “jailbird.”
