China's 70th National Day parade on Tuesday ended on a high with the release of 70,000 pigeons and a similar number of balloons over Tian'anmen Square in downtown Beijing. The birds were borrowed from pigeon keepers across the city. Each bird was rewarded for its participation in the October 1 festivities with a special commemorative leg band.
