The problem I have with the whole "birds aren't real" thing is that bird-drones are expensive, very expensive. Think about all the "birds" you've ever seen over the course of your whole entire life. Think about how much it would cost to build and maintain that. I'd hate to see the bill.

i like to think they believe only some birds are drones. still expensive, but not impossible

Now think about how many "birds" you've seen that were walking or resting instead of flying. The system takes cost-effectiveness into consideration.
