(PM.) Scientists at New Mexico Tech in Socorro, New Mexico have made “taxidermy bird drones,” out of the corpses of dead birds, and Bird’s Aren’t Real, a group who have promoted the idea that the US government had replaced millions of birds with drones to spy on the civilian population, took to Twitter to write, “and they called us conspiracy theorists.”
On Saturday, Bird’s Aren’t Real tweeted “you all called us crazy and we will never forget,” and posted a video from Reuters reporting on the work at New Mexico Tech. In the video, the text scroll reads, “Are you sure the birds you see in the sky aren’t drones? In the near future, that may be the case.”

Mostafa Hassanalian, a medical engineering professor at the college, said, “This idea that we can use a reengineered birds and dead birds and make them as a drone and the only thing that we need to provide them to make them alive is to basically design an actuation mechanism put in their body and everything is there.”

“So we do reverse engineering, we will calculate what has been the weight of the bird while it was alive. What has been his flapping frequency, what flapping angle they have, and just create something similar,” the professor added.
