Birds, drones, and knowing the difference.

With the continuing innovation of unmanned drone technology, and the ever increasing threat of a robot uprising, now more than ever it's important to know the difference between birds and drones.

Our Mission

At the Brotherhood of Interspecies Recognition and Demilitarization, we strive to bring about a world where humanity can live alongside our world's bird population in peace. We envision a world where aggression between our two species is a thing of the past, and where we can unite against our true enemies in the skies.

In our pursuit of this goal we have composed this guide to help citizens make informed decisions when encountering our neighbors in the sky.

So you see something flying, what now?

The threat of drones in our skies is indeed great, but we must not forget our fragile alliance with bird-kind. A discerning eye and sound judgement is necessary in order to preserve both ourselves and our allies.

Humans have many tools at their disposal, and we recommend using multiple senses when trying to identify a flying object:

Look: Use your eyes to evaluate the shape of the flying object. Is it round? Square? Triangular? Trapezoidal? Take note of the specific shape and consider drawing a picture to present to authorities
Listen: Try to take note of any sounds coming from the object. A buzzing or humming sound would indicate a drone and be cause for alarm. A higher "tweeting" sound is most likely to come from a bird, in which case you can be at ease.
Feel: Try to feel if there's a breeze coming down from above. Most drones use propellers for lift and a downward breeze will be a dead giveaway.

What to do if you've found a drone

Above all, rememeber that dones are an enemy. If you believe you've found a drone, contact your local resistance group and do you best not to lose sight of the drone. If no immediate danger is presented remember to stay calm.

For additional information on how to identify a bird please review this anatomy guide. Remember, in these trying times knowledge is power!
