Did it prevent them from shitting all over the place?

Yeah, that place out 'there'. Anything not really Cambodia related should go here.

China performs cavity searches on 10,000 pigeons ahead of National Day event

National Day happens annually on 1 October and celebrates the founding of the People's Republic of China
Wednesday 01 October 2014

Ten thousand pigeons, which were being dramatically released as part of a public holiday celebration in China, were given anal examinations following concerns from Chinese security officials that the birds could be used as part of a terrorist attack.

The authorities also checked the feathers and legs of the birds, before they were used in today’s National Day event in Beijing’s Tiananmen Square.

It annually marks the 1949 founding of the People’s Republic China and this year celebrated the nation’s 65th anniversary. It is held each year on 1 October.

China’s state-run newspaper, People’s Daily, yesterday posted an image and accompanying caption that read: “10,000 pigeons go through anal security check for suspicious objects on Tuesday, ready to be released on National Day on October 1.”

The security search was videotaped before the birds were then loaded onto sealed trucks to be taken to Tiananmen Square and released at 6am today.

Yap, never trust a pigeon. Everybody knows that pigeons have the tendency to hide nuclear bombs up their arses.
Und der Haifisch der hat Tränen
Und die laufen vom Gesicht
Doch der Haifisch lebt im Wasser
So die Tränen sieht man nicht

In der Tiefe ist es einsam
Und so manche Träne fliesst
Und so kommt es dass das Wasser
In den Meeren salzig ist
