    Birds have a compass built into them. No traffic controllers they fly into windows all the time.

    Duh. If there's nobody to change their batteries of course you're not gonna see them.

    Man, you'd think the government would upgrade to Li-Ion Batteries with proper Induction Charging Stations, but apparently they don't value population surveillance enough to cough up the budget for that. Typical 🙄

    No terrorist attacks, "moon landings," or global pandemics either. Think about it.

    Pidgeons. Geese. I haven't seen a raven, or owl, or most song birds.

    It's almost like... They aren't real 👀

    There's also bird flu, and the U.S. government wasn't really doing a great job of keeping track of that even before the shut down. I guess we'll find out for sure eventually, but it just depends on which happens first. Government reopens, birds migrate north in the spring, or we all start spreading/contacting bird flu, and nobody will tell us why we're suddenly not seeing as many people outside either.

    Are you proposing the government drones that we haven't been seeing are spreading weaponized drone flu, or that they have a slowed production until the spring because they are planning something much bigger?

    Because of the lack of funds, they cant spy. HF, reading news paper did give me some knowledge.

    There's definitely a spot I walk by that is crawling with pigeons that get fed daily for squab farming.

    But I get the joke.

    I saw a huge flock of them at the beach interspersed with a larger flock of seabirds. What are they planning?
