Can I fit a small camera to a pigeon?

Question

This was done about 100 years ago with film. With lightweigt digital cameras it should be more easy now

Answer 1

I suppose so. You have have to get a very small and lightweight camera.

Pigeons outfitted with tiny cameras were released over military sites. Photographs have been successfully taken in Germany with cameras fastened to carrier-pigeons. Now it so happened that a pigeon that used to be quite punctual, remained fully a month on its way, so that the question arose as to where it might have stayed in the mean time. After testing this camera from an express train, Dr. Neubronner proceeded to perform his first experiments on carrier-pigeons as photographers, and the first pictures, which were two by two centimeters in size, were considered quite satisfactory as preliminary results.

Answer 2

I'd like to see you attempt to

pidgeons can get pissy lol

Answer 3

What would be the purpose?  How many blurry pictures of the sky do you need?  

I'll bet some knucklehead *tried it* a hundred years ago.  But the operative words are "hundred years ago". It must not have worked very well or people would still be doing it today.

Why can't you tie tin cans to the cat like all the other destructive monsters your age?

Answer 4

Yes, you can.  But training it to aim, and press the button may take longer.
