Cameras were attached to pigeons using a harness and breastplate armourPigeons were trained to carry weight of cameras using wooden models By Daily Mail Reporter Published: 14:38 GMT, 15 January 2013 | Updated: 17:14 GMT, 15 January 2013 Long before satellites beamed aerial imagery back to Earth and Google Street View let us explore the world from the comfort of our living rooms, a German doctor came up with a slightly lower tech way to take aerial pictures - with a mini camera strapped to a pigeon.
