Quote:A flock of pigeons fitted with mobile phone backpacks is to be used to monitor air pollution, New Scientist magazine reported on Wednesday.

The 20 pigeons will be released into the skies over San Jose, California, in August.

Each bird will carry a GPS satellite tracking receiver, air pollution sensors and a basic mobile phone.

Text messages on air quality will be beamed back in real time to a special pigeon "blog,"

Miniature cameras slung around the pigeons' necks will also post aerial pictures.

Skip the air monitoring and send them to poop on Meg's head instead 

This experiment is destined for failure.  Pigeons rank at the bottom of the bird intelligence scale.  I suggest using Penguins instead. 

With the exception of Sally Field the Flying Nun, Penguins don't fly.
