Checkpoint authorities have caught two men who tried to smuggle about 300 birds into Singapore.
The birds were hidden in cages under a black cloth in the boot compartment of a sports utility vehicle.
The vehicle tried to enter the country at the Woodlands checkpoint on Tuesday at about 10pm.
The 38-year-old driver and his 40-year-old companion, both Singaporeans, were referred to the Agri-food & Veterinary Authority for further investigations.
There were 250 munia birds, 44 mata puteh birds and one shama bird uncovered.
