A poster using the name Mr. Yang on website China Pigeon Net said there could be good reason for the anal checks.
"I have not heard of pigeons released at National Day requiring security checks, but it is possible for them to carry things such as explosives," he said, comparing the searches to airplane security procedures.
"If they carried out security checks they would find them [explosives], just like on a person when they get on an airplane," Mr. Yang wrote.
