Maybe you have seen someone with a “Birds aren’t real” sweatshirt or a billboard with the same message. Maybe you have viewed this message on Twitter and wondered exactly what this claim was supposed to mean. Surely, the claim is false and those making such claims realize these are being foolish to gain attention.
Take a look at the official website and you may come away even more confused. There you will find “birds aren’t real” merchandise (truther gear) just like I said. There are links to media coverage for “the cause” and an explanation of the origin of the group. Evidently, the CIA is responsible, but the rest of the government is complicit in the cover-up. What you think are birds are really drones. These drones recharge themselves on power lines.
You can even try Snopes to check out this organization. Snopes seems to think the whole thing is satire with Gen Zers (those born 1997 to 2012) in on the joke. The leader, Peter McIndoe, initially seemed to suggest it was satire, but now with the success of the movement and money for merch coming in he is committed. Mr. McIndoe seems “the birds” version of Q.
This can’t back away from an obvious fabrication seems a thing at this point. The world is not flat. Trump did not win the election. Gates is not promoting vaccines to get you to voluntarily submit to having a sensor implanted in your body.
