Pigeons Now Take Aerial Photos
AN automatic miniature camera strapped to the breast of a carrier pigeon is the latest method being employed for the making of aerial photographs in Germany. The camera is timed so that shutter is snapped at regular intervals in bird’s flight.
No mention of the other two birds holding the flash?

Should work just fine as long as you don’t really care where the camera is pointing when it takes the pictures.

Now pigeons can crap on your head, then take a picture of it to show their freinds and have a laugh.
