Why do the smugglers enter the parade?


Seems like a waste of time. They could have already left in the time it took for them to make a float and whatever. This is the biggest plot hole IMO.

Carnival had already started when they made the plan, there were too many people around and they would have seen them illegally transporting birds. Plus the float was crappy anyway so it's not like it took that much time.

they did it because the streets are closed for the parade and this was the fastests (only) way to get the birds to the airport in town.

Wrong, they did it to incorporate the parade into the movie, plain and simple.
