Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (07.26.13)
Turkey is really descending quite deeply into the abyss!

4. A spying bird with a "Tel Aviv" sign?
Tahl   (07.26.13)
What kind of a spy would have the country they spy for (or city in that country), written on them for all to see? These Turks are really bird-brains...
5. In Egypt..
Beary White ,   Norway   (07.26.13)
.. they have captured two mossad agents and one arab..=...two seagulls and one blackbird. Soon they will appear in court, presented in a big cage.... Later this year when all birds migrate, the islamic states will have enough to do, registering all migrating birds. !!! Did I say the islamic followers are stupid and brainswashed for only one thing??
6. IF
YK   (07.26.13)
If the Turks were better interrogators they would have discovered that this bird serves in the same Mossad unit as the Sharm-al-shaikh shark

anton ,   istanbul   (07.26.13)
you have inferred this from what? this news? :) bird found by villagers and thougth for spying for it had tracking device, unfortunatly villagers dont watch many documentariy to realize its normal guess turkey made you quite uncomfortable for the last couple of years, just tragic :)
8. Phew...that was a close call...
JtC ,   NIr Eliyahu / Jhb   (07.26.13)
...they almost discovered our little winged spy! But seriously, you can't make stuff like this up.
9. @2: It's a Disguise
emanon ,   USA   (07.26.13)
10. On behalf of the bird I will fill a protest with the UN
Just Sayin' ,   Israel   (07.26.13)
the birds rights including but not limited to freedom to travel have been violated! This needs to be investigated and at the very least an OFFICIAL apology from the Turkish government needs to be issued!

robert ,   belgium   (07.26.13)
anton, you're missing the point. Sarah B (comment nr 1) is right. This is an example of the hysterical stupidity the Turks live in under Erdogan. A completely imbecilic reaction to everything that sounds or looks Israeli, even a bird with a ring. Turkey made - once again - a total fool of itself.
12. Our plan worked perfectly
William ,   Israel   (07.26.13)
The Turks were so concerned over the bird that they put all of their efforts into investigating the bird itself...and ignored the IDF aircraft that flew close to the border gathering intelligence.
13. i am glad to see...
les ,   canada   (07.26.13)
they did not confuse that beautiful little bird with a turkey :) but she (the bird) still should get a medal from mossad for job well done!
14. He had a good lawyer!

15. Number 6 Court Martial
Joseph ,   London UK   (07.26.13)
You have violated the Official Secrets Act. Please return immediately to base for court martial. Turn in your feathers.
16. It's a bird, it's a plane, it's a Super Spy Jew bird!
BUILD BABY BUILD !!! ,   United States   (07.26.13)
LOL "there's a Jew behind every rock."
17. I do not like using contractions but in this case I need to
Arnold ,   Montreal-Canada   (07.26.13)
OMG , OMG , OMG ,OMG
18. hilarious!
agokoy ,   cebu   (07.26.13)
they have many more suspects, coming and going, everywhere! hahaha.
19. Bird Falsely Accused
Joel   (07.26.13)
The Bird deserves a formal apology
20. OMG! Now that is real paranoia !
Barbara ,   Haifa Israel   (07.26.13)
21. Hey, Turkey, how do you know bird doesn't have bird flu ?
Barbara ,   Haifa Israel   (07.26.13)
22. Israel should immediatly demand a formal apology
A ,   Belgium   (07.26.13)
from Turkey before the United Nations, $80,000,000 to rehabilitate the bird who suffered severe trauma at the hands of its Turkish captures, and immediate release of all birds and other wildlife originating in Israel, that are kept in barbaric conditions in Turkish prisons and zoos. Turkey doesn't have a monopoly on stupidity, although they try hard to prove otherwise.
23. innocent nird
rayS ,   USA   (07.26.13)
Can the bird sue for false arrest?

jenny ,   NY USA   (07.26.13)
"Stupid is as stupid does". That about sums up your country. No, no one is "uncomfortable". If you choose to believe that, perhaps you should come visit. Enjoy the falafel, sushi is not bad. Hint: Stay away from the large-nostriled birds. Ya never know....
25. What a relief...
Eaglebeak ,   Left Coast, USA   (07.26.13)
I was afraid he would sing like a canary and spill all our secrets!
26. Hey "Turkeys" donĀ“t believe the bird.
Uzziel   (07.26.13)
We all know the zionist secret services teach their agents how to cheat the polygraph!
27. Its nothing that a good psychologist can't fix, by the way
JJJ   (07.26.13)
Its nothing check your chickens too
28. The Great Turks
Izi ,   Tel Aviv   (07.26.13)
This is not the firs time that accuse Israel for such a think. It's unbelievable how, they still can think that Israel sends spybirds all around Middle East, written Israel on their legs.
29. But beware of the Mossad mosquitoes
Stephen in New York   (07.26.13)
equipped with nano nukes.
30. Midnight Express
Yaky Pipchick ,   Baltimore   (07.26.13)
Whoever saw that movie knows what Turkey is all about. Rather backward lads indeed.... -- I bet the bird outsmarted its captors LOL
