Next step is to figure out a way for the bird to pilot the drone, like those vehicles driven by mice or goldfish
Also. I have a brilliant idea to stop ivory poaching. Let's take those machine guns from a Ukrainian ground drone:
Then mount them on some large saddle that can be fitted on an elephant's back. Then rig up some mechanism for the elephant to control the gun. Perhaps some sort of large eyepiece.
We won't need to actively track down poachers. The elephants will be more than capable of dealing with the poachers themselves! With modern technology, we could literally give machine guns to elephants!
The gritty realistic version of the already gritty Elephantmen comic.
To be fair, if I had to choose an nonhuman animal to control a machine gun, it’d probably be an elephant.
We briefly did missiles guided by pigeons, so it can't be that hard, right?
that bird needs to ratatouille that drone
or like whatever
