An Australian traveller raised eyebrows and the suspicions of customs officers after he was found with two live pigeons and an aubergine down his pants.
Customs officials said the 23-year-old man was caught at Melbourne Airport following a trip to the Middle East.
Officials searched the man after they discovered two eggs hidden in a vitamin container in his luggage.
The pigeons were found wrapped in padded envelopes and held to each of the man's legs with a pair of tights.

Officials also seized seeds in his money belt and an undeclared aubergine, but are at a loss to explain why the goods were smuggled into the country.
Mr Janeczko said the pigeons were not endangered and that the case had been turned over to the Quarantine Service to assess the health risk associated with bringing the birds into the country.

Offenders face a maximum penalty of 10 years in jail and a fine of $110,000 Australian dollars (£48,600) for the illegal importation of wildlife, plants and food.
The alleged bird smuggler, who arrived in Melbourne on Sunday was being questioned and The Quarantine Service would not comment on the continuing investigation.

i hope that scum bag will be punished. to subject the pigeons to such awful condition. i do hope though that the man had his bath that day, otherwise that would add suffering to the poor creatures. i say as punishment, let the pigeons peck his manhood. (can i say that here?, lol.)

BritExpat, we use the term gumboots. Sometimes used in conjunction with velcro gloves.

And actually if you take them near a clifftop they tend to back up against you.. So I have heard. Ahem
