The Song Challenge: Is That A Baby Budgie In Your Pants, Or Are You Just Glad To See Me? -- RIO DE JANEIRO, Brazil (Reuters) -- With parrots and snakes in his luggage and bird eggs tucked into his underwear, an Austrian tourist has been arrested and charged for animal trafficking, Brazilian police said on Wednesday. "He put (the eggs) near his testicles so they would be at nest temperature," a police spokesman said. Police discovered 21 parrots, four parakeets and two snakes hidden in two large suitcases carried by Austrian botanist Johann Zillinger. hey also found Zillinger had rolled five parakeet eggs into a sock and nestled them in his underwear. "Since some of the parakeets that he had with him were newborns, we assume that some of the eggs had already hatched." Tipped off by an anonymous call, Rio de Janeiro police arrested the Austrian on Monday in front of his Copacabana beach hotel, as he climbed into a taxi on his way to catch a flight to Europe. According to police, Zillinger bought the animals in the Amazon port city of Belen and planned to take them to Austria to sell them in Europe.

Soar Like An Eagle, Fall Like A Rock by Lonesome EJ

He met her at the airport
It was a first-sight romance
By the light of the juke box
They stole a kiss and a dance

He said "I'm all warm and tingly
From the love that we've snatched!"
And it was then, in his boxers,
Something started to hatch

His heart was a-flutter
And so were his pants
And with some trepidation
She gave him a glance

He hopped and he staggered
And blinking both eyes
He mumbled an oath
As he pounded his thighs

The crowd in the tavern
Soon circled him round
All clapping in rhythm
As he squirmed to the sound

The girl and the others
were stunned as they watched
the man carried on high
By some thing in his crotch

He soared like an eagle
Then fell like a rock
as out of his pantsleg
Came a parakeet flock

The woman was breathless
For joy she did scream
Such movement and magic
She never had seen

Then he ran to the bar
paid his tab all in cash
And said "I must find a restroom
Before these crocodiles hatch!"
