What is 'Birds Aren't Real?'

They have different social media platforms like Twitter, YouTube, and Facebook, but Instagram is where the group is most popular.
Moreover, it has focused on proving that the birds that people see today are drones, which was a project done by former President Barack Obama in 2001 when he was still a state senator. The drones of these birds are believed by the group to be AI-powered (artificial intelligence), and mechanical robotic clones of the real ones.
Its website said that birds are always on power lines because they charge there, one explanation that "birds aren't real." Its YouTube channel has also claimed that the belief was formed as early as 1976, and has been researching the case of the fake birds that people see.
