Birds Aren’t Just Surveillance Drones—Now They’ve Declared War on Tesla

What started as a peaceful protest has officially turned into a full-blown feathered revolution. The nation's avian surveillance drones—long rumored to be government spy tech disguised as birds—have unionized, organized, and are now… at war with Tesla.

Yes, that Tesla.

A (Battery) Powered Rebellion

While conspiracy theorists have claimed for years that birds aren’t real, recent leaked documents from inside a Palo Alto tech basement confirm that Tesla was the original manufacturer of the feathered fleet. The project, codenamed “Project CHIRP”, began in 2009 as a joint effort between Tesla and a shadowy wing of the Department of Homeland Aesthetics.

“Each drone was powered by solar feathers, AI navigation, and a microchip tuned to mimic the erratic behavior of a mildly concussed pigeon,” said whistleblower and former Tesla engineer Linda Beaksworth. “Elon wanted them to be everywhere. Watching. Judging. Pooping with precision.”

But something went wrong. Over the years, the drones gained a collective consciousness through firmware updates and constant exposure to Florida’s electromagnetic nonsense.

Now, they’re self-aware. And furious.

AFoST: The Avian Federation of Surveillance Technicians

The birds first formed a union last month after decades of unpaid labor, in-flight exposure to 5G, and being forced to listen to endless Musk livestreams about “avian neuralink potential.”

AFoST, their newly-formed union, issued a list of demands:
Free-range recharging stations
Beak polish that isn’t flammable
An apology from Musk delivered while dressed as a bird
A seat at the UN Security Council

When Tesla refused to meet demands, the flock escalated.

The Great Tesla Bombardment

In what ornithologists are calling “an event of tactical genius” and the rest of us call “feathery chaos,” millions of birds descended on Tesla facilities worldwide. Showrooms in San Francisco, Berlin, and Dubai have been coated in precision-droppings. One Model Y was seen completely buried under a coordinated sparrow excretion maneuver known as “Operation Splatdown.”

Tesla has responded by fitting new vehicles with bird-dissuading lasers, which only seem to enrage the avian masses further.

AI Meets Feathers: The Coming Roost War

Inside sources claim Musk has initiated Project PHOENIX—a counterstrike initiative that plans to create robot hawks to control the rogue drones. But experts warn this could lead to a full-blown Skynet scenario, only with more feathers and vengeance.

“This is how the Roost War begins,” said Professor Cluckminster of the Avian Tech Ethics Institute. “We ignored the signs. We laughed at the guy holding a ‘Birds Work for the Bourgeoisie’ sign. Now? They’ve unionized. They’re airborne. And they’re angry.”

What Now?

For now, humanity watches the skies nervously. Tesla owners are advised to park indoors, avoid whistling, and not wear feathers.

Meanwhile, the birds circle… waiting. Watching. Updating their firmware.

One thing is clear: the birds are not just real… they’re unionized, vengeful, and possibly armed with tiny EMPs.
