An Egyptian man performed a citizen‘s arrest on the bird suspected to be a spy.
The Standard Digital reports the suspected 'winged infiltrator' was taken to the police station in Qena, after being captured.
The man grew paranoid when he spotted a small metal device attached to the bird, and felt it was his duty to detain it.
After inspection, the device turned out to be a wildlife tracking device, writes The Guardian.
Egypt has been plagued with violence and threats, along with the increasing fears of foreign spies and forces, which lead to the suspicions.
This is not the first time a bird was suspected of being a spy.
The Standard Digital reports a kestrel was detained in Turkey in July, after it was suspected of being an Israeli spy.
