Let me just make it clear that I am do not believe in the 'Birds aren't real' nonsense, not even for a nanosecond.  I just remember reading about some of the far-fetched, real-life things that HAD been tried — like strapping cameras onto pigeons or training dolphins to be torpedoes — and thought that something like this had been the impetus for the whacko with the van.

And if you think these are far-fetched, just Google "CIA + Castro's beard". Swear to God, you can't make up stuff this good.
