Talk:Pigeon photography

2012 BBC Earthflight series
The 2004 BBC programme is mentioned - might it also be worth mentioning Earthflight, a six-part series which was broadcast for the first time a few months ago and included masses of footage from bird-mounted cameras. The last of the six programmes in the series was dedicated to showing how the footage was obtained. Details here. It got excellent reviews:   review of the 'how they filmed it' final episode 86.133.212.6 (talk) 12:01, 31 March 2012 (UTC)


 * Youtube clips from the series:
 * camera attached to a vulture in Switzerland (!), released from a microlight at altitude
 * camera attached to a condor in the Andes
 * camera attached to a fish eagle hunting flamingoes (only brief bird-mounted camerawork)
 * camera attached to snow geese in New York 217.42.142.189 (talk) 16:26, 1 April 2012 (UTC)

 * Congratulations. You may actually be the first reader who made it to the end of the article. I believe that's the traditional place for making a hoax article so over the top that most readers finally get the joke. Is your post related to that tradition? Hans Adler 15:45, 1 April 2012 (UTC)


 * Thank you. I did not read the whole article.


 * The notion of miniaturizing cameras to lipstick-tube size to be carried by albatrosses was a great touch. I thought some comment was needed.  Wanderer57 (talk) 00:56, 2 April 2012 (UTC)

This article should have been labeled April Fools
I think Wikipedia has an obligation to tell its readers if an article doesn't meet its expectations, even in 'joke' form. Though April Fools is fun, and everyone has a good laugh, I still think that serious encyclopedias should be held to a higher standard because people rely on them strongly for resources. Perhaps others will find it petty, but Wikipedia has responsibilities to provide accurate information to its readers 365 days a year.
 * This article is completely factual. 115.166.41.207 (talk) 04:30, 2 April 2012 (UTC)
 * I hope the people calling it a hoax were just trying to play an April Fools trick on us. Wnt (talk) 22:22, 2 April 2012 (UTC)

Effect
Is there any way this inspired technology that lead to modern animal cameras? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Commander v99 (talk • contribs) 17:17, 7 April 2012 (UTC)
