Who is Pablo Eggs-cobar? (And why is he obsessed with bird eggs?!)

from Part-Time Genius · host iHeartPodcasts and Kaleidoscope

From climbing a tree under gunfire to dangling out of helicopters, people have gone to incredible lengths to steal wild bird eggs—risking arrest, fines, and even jail time. Why? And more importantly, who's doing this? Will and Mango discover some of the craziest stories in egg theft history, including a British club that ran a-fowl of the law by hiding 11,000 illegal eggs and the man known as Pablo Egg-scobar, a naturalist who spent decades supplying the rare egg black market. Plus: A peek inside the high-stakes world of Middle East falconry. Follow us on Instagram @parttimegenius—tag us if you see any cool (LEGAL) eggs! Photo by Rijin Raj, via Unsplash. Thanks, Rijin!
