Researchers are merging taxidermy with technology, using dead birds to create new drone innovation.
Led by Dr. Mostafa Hassanalian, a mechanical engineering professor leading the research at the New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology in Socorro, are taking dead birds and repurposing them into drones to their study flight patterns, and hopefully use that research and apply it to the aviation industry.
We came up with this idea that we can use… dead birds and make them [into] a drone. Everything is there… we do reverse engineering.
If we learn how these birds manage… energy between themselves, we can apply [that] into the future aviation industry to save more energy and save more fuel.
Hassanalian told Reuters
As Reuters indicates, this “may become an unconventional approach to wildlife monitoring.”
Fox 13 says that there are privacy concerns by some, claiming that this technology could be used by “the military or law enforcement to spy on people.”

“[This] may become an unconventional approach to wildlife monitoring.” -yeah, and people watching, too.
Our persecutors are swifter than the eagles of the heaven: they pursued us upon the mountains, they laid wait for us in the wilderness.
Lamentations 4:19
There is a “conspiracy theory” out there dubbed “the birds aren’t real,” implying that there are spy birds designed to surveil an unsuspecting populous. This study pretty much confirms that that’s been going on. However, that belief got hijacked by dingbats, probably government-paid shills and change agents, to be this wacko-dacko belief that all birds are fake and are all government surveillance devices, passed off as satire.
[7] Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? [8] Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also? [9] For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? [10] Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. (1 Corinthians 9:7-10).

jacob is the firmament ‘outerspace’?
if so, is it filled with water because when i look through a telescope it looks like i’ m looking through water or gas. funny how nasa calls them astroNAUTS as in nautical which is a navy term for water.
the stars are mesmerizing because it literally looks like they’re in water or like i’m looking through gas.
i dont care much about astrology coz i know whats out there and i hate that thing.
Makes me want to watch the old 1960s movie, The Birds, again, which could have been inspired by the birds gathering to feast on the dead in Revelation. I even believe there was a bible quote in the movie about the woe that follows people who rise up early to drink.
