Hi everyone, I just stumbled onto a nice resource online providing high quality martin footage. It's called BBC Motion Gallery. There are nine videos and all of them were shot in the company of PMCA staff. Most of the video of a primitive natural gourd rack I even got to help with when I was still an intern. The good old days! The PMCA was approached by the BBC on two occasions once for the Life of Birds by David Attenborough (see http://www.pbs.org/lifeofbirds/ - Episode 10) and then later for another program I don't know the name of (anyone know?).

This one is my favorite! http://www.bbcmotiongallery.com/Custome ... 0b6163bc66

Of course there is lots of stuff on www.youtube.com as well.

Enjoy,

Pat,
Thanks so much for the Links...Neato!!!!!!
do you think that any of the video's & Pictures I sent in to the pmca of the Lewisville,Tx roost will ever be posted on the forum maybe in the future ??alot of PM Landlords are requesting to see them. I had sent Cd's & DVD's to Louise and others for viewing.
I can convert video's to any format if that is helpful.
Sincerely,
Kenny

Kenny,

We don't have space for videos on the forum, sorry to say, and we're limited as to photo space too. could you post your roost videos, which are wonderful, on youtube and put the link here? then everyone could see them and I know they'd enjoy them.

Louise

PS, a terrific shot Kenny took of the Lewisville roost is in the Winter issue of the Update, which mails next week.

Kenny,

I think Louise's idea about posting your video on you tube and then post that link here is a great idea. Looking forward to it :lol: :lol: :lol:
