Pigeon photography is an aerial photography technique invented in 1907 by the German apothecary Julius Neubronner (1852-1932) who also used pigeons to deliver medications. A homing pigeon was fitted with an aluminum breast harness to which a lightweight time-delayed miniature camera could be attached.
