In the 1960s the US government carried out the mass extermination of every bird in North America and replaced them with surveillance drones... or so the Birds Aren't Real movement would have you believe.
In this episode we're diving into this conspiracy theory that found its wings on Tik Tok. This whacky story has ties to Trump, the Vietnam war and even JFK's ham sandwich? (Not a euphemism.)

Here are our timestamps if you want to fly ahead...

  • Chapter 1: Death to birds (2m41sec)
  • Chapter 2: The movement today (24m40sec)
  • Chapter 3: Beneath the feathers (34m29sec)
