I could very well be wrong, I know little about birds, but wouldn’t this just scare the shit out of the bird?
I’m guessing that the owner knows his bird well enough to tell if it’s happy or not. Some people assumed that I was being mean to my dog when I grabbed his tail, because he would spin around and bite my wrist. But actually it was his favorite game, which he came up with, not me. He would walk backwards to me with his tail sticking out because he wanted me to grab it.

or maybe he just wanted you to sniff his ass and the tail game just kinda became fun?

I think the term is “turtling”.
I had the same thought, in a Pixar movie this could be a tear jerker scene, in real life that bird might die of a heart attack.
I also don’t think those holes are enough to keep it from getting uncomfortably hot inside that plastic bottle. There must be another way to secure the bird without encasing it in a sauna.
It’s got four powerful fans around it, so it’s not that likely to get hot.
Don’t worry, it’ll rattle around constantly so air will get into its feathers.
Not necessarily. You are projecting your own fears in that situation onto the bird, but the bird wouldn’t have the same perspective.
As a human, your brain evolved over millions of years to only feel comfortable when you are standing on solid ground. Flying through the air is about the most alien experience a human brain can have, and it won’t respond well to that situation.
But a bird’s brain has evolved to be extremely high and not think twice about it, probably even enjoy it. Ever see a flying bird that didn’t look happy?
So while you would be naturally freaking out at flying around like that, a bird would probably feel right at home, and relaxed.
It’s not exactly projecting because I would personally have a blast. But that’s largely because I would understand what is happening.
I doubt the height would scare the bird, like you said, they are used to that. What they probably aren’t used to is being confined while strapped to a drone they can’t control. That’s more like the experience of being picked off by a bird of prey. I would imagine birds enjoy flying free. This is not that.
Valid.

Bro, pass it.

Next step is to figure out a way for the bird to pilot the drone, like those vehicles driven by mice or goldfish
Also. I have a brilliant idea to stop ivory poaching. Let’s take those machine guns from a Ukrainian ground drone:
Then mount them on some large saddle that can be fitted on an elephant’s back. Then rig up some mechanism for the elephant to control the gun. Perhaps some sort of large eyepiece.
We won’t need to actively track down poachers. The elephants will be more than capable of dealing with the poachers themselves! With modern technology, we could literally give machine guns to elephants!
The gritty realistic version of the already gritty Elephantmen comic.
To be fair, if I had to choose an nonhuman animal to control a machine gun, it’d probably be an elephant.
that bird needs to ratatouille that drone
or like whatever
We briefly did missiles guided by pigeons, so it can’t be that hard, right?
The birds POV:
Yep this is the comment I was looking for. Totally agree.
I don’t even think the bird is enjoying it …
There is no way. Driving a car and just sitting on the passenfer side is not the same at all. Now imagine having no control and not even understanding what a car is
Imagine you enjoyed running before losing the ability to do it and then someone strapped you to the bonnet of a car to make you feel better.
Alternative perspective. Imagine enjoying running, losing your ability to walk, then being strapped to a rollercoaster. That sounds a little more fun.
Could build a head tracker to control the drone with small movements of the bird’s head. I bet the bird would learn how to fly it and enjoy the experience!
That bird must be scared shitless
Looks like a drone that drops a disabled bird bomb.

Birds aren’t real, this is them just getting lazy written the fake birds design

What is the airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow?
African, European, or drone-assisted?
I’m not certain it appreciates the screaming motors right next to it.
Me in 1988: we will probably have flying cars by 2026.
2026:
Atleast we got the flying machines (the drones).
Bird brain is sayin…Nope.
Gosh well that’s inclusive, kudos!
