- Bird's Aren't Real is a viral conspiracy theory that has captured the minds of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of Americans. Believers insist that the American government systematically replaced the millions of birds in the sky with government surveillance drones to spy on civilians. But are they serious?
In this episode of My Life Online, we spend time with the movement’s leader, Peter McIndoe, to find out what’s really going on…

"birds charge on powerlines"
LMAO that's fucking brilliant
Birds that can wirelessly charge themselves like flagship phones lmao
think about it
I give birds Alka-Seltzer and they cant pass gas or burp and their stomachs explode. They fall out of the sky and make a thud when they hit the ground.
That makes sense 😂😂😂

He could legit be a cult leader imagine if he never told anyone that this was all just a “character”
For the most part, he didn't. Most people involved just immediately understand that it's all a joke. Which is where the part about "a movement for people who can see the world for what it is" rings true.
It’s art. A mix of truth and fiction in a goofball way. I’ll do it if he didn’t say it was a character…
Understanding of the biomechanical functionality of animal nervous system, frequency resonance and wifi gives you the knowledge to make a mind control and recording device.
Everyone that joined this specific One new that it was a joke and a stab at all of the other ridiculous movements that are happening today.....it's a way of saying something without actually saying it...but being able to broadcast something as ridiculous as this is supposed to look was phenomenal!

@@azurecielo52479 this whole birds aren’t real thing is a lame cover up.
As one of the top lawyers in Bird Law, I can appreciate what Peter is doing. For years I've been on the fence as to why certain "birds" disappear whenever a big time case flew my way. From witnesses disappearing to just retracted statements, now I know why. Kudos to you Pete.
I feel feathers about the conspiracies he hatches!
Im somewhat of an expert in bird law myself

"If anyone puts some thought into it, you can clearly see what's going on"
Problem is, a lot of people don't put thought into things, they believe whatever makes an emotional connection to them. To that end, I wouldn't at all be surprised if there's people out there who genuinely believe that "birds aren't real" is a genuine conspiracy.
Unfortunately there are people out there who blindly follow alot of things (including this). There definitely are people out there that have mistaken this piece of satire as a real conspiracy theory. Some of the people at his rallies will be real believers 😂
A couple more semesters to push me over the edge and I'll probably be holding a sign at my local bus station...
These days it's difficult to tell who is joking and who is serious.
They're serious 'til they're caught, then they were joking the whole time.
i mean yeah at first glance. but dude said it himself, if ppl just did like 5mins of research you'd know if it was a larp. basic fact checking & common sense is where the difficulty seems to lie lol
Thus, proving his point. It's actually really, really sad that so many people can be duped by ridiculous theories.
He'd be a lot more convincing if he weren't bad at acting.
Which is what makes it so dangerous
The bird abatement spikes on top of the van is a classy touch. 🤘
In my head I cringed, because they would really hurt your fuel economy driving around the country. But I really wish she would have several more and kind of outline his stage.
Like roll up on the rally, and then rolled strips of those things all around where he intends to walk. Lol.

I don't live in the US and never heard about this. It's so interesting. People where I live don't understand satire. I used to teach a critical thinking and writing class where I used some famous satire like Swift and Twain. I thought it's just the time periods of the pieces. It was a Catholic junior college, so I used an essay called "All Seven Deadly Sins Committed at Church Bake Sale" by the Onion. I had to read it out loud to them. The US evangelical churches have moved in and taken advantage of people believing anything. Even though I live in Central America, the US conspiracy theories take hold here very quickly. I love seeing these young people doing this thinking performance satire. It's inspiring to know not all young people follow anything available. Kudos to the movement and to Vice for providing such interesting documentaries.
Thank you for sharing this! It's eye-opening to see the worst of American politics cascade into other countries. I am horrified at the spread of far-right conspiracy theories. The only way to stop demagogues who wilfully spread lies is to armor people with an education and the ability to use critical thinking to understand proper sourcing.
Seeing a young dude making satire out of rallies is so refreshing. Bringing people together for nonsense is brilliant. Guys are genius.

“Birds charge on power lines.” Hilarious.
it was so awesome being a character with birds aren't real. i was the bagpiper. it is something that really changed my life. i am someone who is someone who isolates himself from socializing because of being afraid of being myself, this movement has helped me get out of my comfort zone and helped me become more social again. i love peter, Connor, Eric, Ann Claire, Clare, Madelyn and everyone else involved. its been amazing.

it blows my mind that people in the comments actually thought he was serious. i think what peter said about gen z just understanding the movement really hit the nail on the head.
Given the level of psychosis we've seen all around the world, I can understand why some people thought it was genuine.
The only people who thought it was real were Gen Z and millennials. There’s nobody over 40 who thinks this was an actual thing.
The thing that made me dislike this movement is that genuine conspiracy believers were joining and causing people to feel really really hurt from it.
@@cactoyote Who are 'genuine conspiracy believers'? Some theories are true, others aren't, many just have an element of truth. Who was hurt from it?

Wait, seriously, this is how it got started??? Kudos to him!!! I’ve always been delighted by the birds aren’t real theory but this makes it so much better!
The fact that some humans actually believed this really worries me. It just shows how easily persuaded some people are.

A lot of people are going to be upset with Peter's claim that he believes in birds. But, it's really important that we recognize the power of Big Bird to threaten and blackmail people at the top of the Bird's Aren't Real movement as the best way to delegitimize the movement and keep bird surveillance technology in the shadows.

This video was produced and edited so well! Such an great watch!
Things are so unreal these days that until he admitted it, I was *very seriously* going back and forth in my mind about whether he was a troll or a crazy person. Thank God you cleared that up for me.

@BYRRD yea after fireworks
Me too. It's shocking.
it's pretty clear he was trolling. but i can't say the same for all his followers. some people are eager to escape into a fantasy that exonerates them for not being able to manage their own lives (aka Q)
I’m having hard time watching the entire video because how stupid it is, does he actually believe in this stuff or is it a joke and are his followers joking?
The amount of skills he’s acquired just coming up with crazy stuff to do for birds aren’t real. Really is quite a set of skills that’ll help him if he ever puts it to rest.
He’s been recruited by the agency and had to stop this show to come up with a much better global version lol
So did the government come into my yard build a nest and put eggs in there, then a couple weeks later came back and replaced the eggs with babies? Lol

There have been much more idiotic ideas that 'birds aren't real' that have been campaigned for in the past! 😂 He must be a natural born leader if he has found himself being one from trying out the strangest most 'out there' idea he could latch onto!

@@plexoduss Not really, if you split time between pre and post internet, it makes sense
HOW DARE YOU CALL THIS FICTION
Love how half of Americans actually believe much crazier things than birds being a hoax. Brilliant and necessary satire.
Lol which half?
Yeah but the difference is the crazy things that some Americans believe are things that are spread and facilitated by political-oriented groups of all sizes, including Governmental entities , both foreign and domestic, including Russia, China, and Iran to name a main few. Governmental entities like the 'Internet Research Agency' and '50 Cent Army' who hire people to pose as Americans or otherwise and troll online, sowing seeds of deceit; like the past two presidential elections for example. Russia used millions of fake facebook and twitter accounts and used misinformation to confuse American voters using something called 'outrage tactics', and I'm not referring to the collusion/Mueller report. Trump would not even need to ask Putin for help to win the election because naturally it's in Putin's best interests if the President of the US is Republican/Conservative because their core values are more aligned than that of the alternative party. Regardless of your political standings, this is well documented and easily accessed on government websites with official documents from congress, all public record. Anyway, modern wars are becoming more about technology than anything else. I realize I risk sounding like a nut to some people at this point and that's ok; But I don't believe that Russia's involvement in foreign politics and the Ukraine invasion as well as many other recent events are isolated events or coincidences. I'd say we're already at war on the cyber front with misinformation being a soldier's ammunition, and that Russia's recent invasion into Ukraine is really just an excuse and means to probe at the US' military tech arsenal (without actually having to declare war against the US itself), like the Javelin's (anti-tank weapons) we've recently given to Ukraine in order to protect themselves from Russia's well known Tank arsenal. By the way, the IDEA of the Javelins was conceived during the Cold War. If I've piqued any reader's interest, I would suggest looking up the youtube video ''How powerful are javelin missiles'', and then you would probably understand where I am going.
This guy is jokingly saying that billions of birds were killed and replaced by an equal number of surveillance drones overnight by the same government that took ages to get it's act together after the pandemic hit, a pandemic mind you that was very much warned about yet no preparations were made. I don't really have to explain much further how ridiculous the conspiracy theory is, but I do want to stress how harmful it is to just preach something like that to the public. Because you never know who is gonna hear it, how gullible they are, how they could become obsessed by that one conspiracy theory and revolve their entire lives around it and in turn infect others the same way. To put it into perspective, think about the many different religions of the world and the millions to billions of people that adamantly believe in the biggest absurdities. You just have to be careful, especially in times when random twitter posts with strong political context is put in the spotlight of the media with a magnifying glass. Single individuals and small groups become very loud political parties through the use and exploitation of social media. Like I stated previously, misinformation is a soldier's ammunition these days. Aside from that, I find it irresponsible to applaud this approach towards political beliefs. Everything is already made into a meme these days, this whole comment section is Gen Z essentially saying ''Every aspect of life around us has been made a joke, why not just treat everything as a joke anyway'' and that attitude/mentality can grow like a weed. All in all, we can't control how people will react to things but we can control the things we choose to say, repeat or facilitate. Arm yourself with real knowledge and make sure you know what you're talking about before talking about it, otherwise you are doing more harm than good.
@@Kushien … agree with everything you state above… with one exception. Satire/comedy is the most effective weapon against the barrage of right wing/Russian misinformation and trolling. Being laughed at and humiliated in that way is devastating, and that is the beauty of the birds aint real movement. The tiny percentage of people braindead enough to actually buy it are well worth trading for the belly laughs of the vast majority who see it for what it is.
@@sueneilson896 I don't know how humiliated the Russians will be when they get their hands on the Javelins and reverse-engineer them, add them to their own arsenal and devise some counter measure to them and meanwhile here in the US people are performing a live circus questioning the existence of birds. Haha, jokes on them I guess!
@@Kushien Are you talking about the Russian people or Putin and the Oligarchs? Most Russians don't feel too proud right now considering they don't even want to be in this current war and their leader is acting like a child who had his juicebox taken...

Yes, it was satire all along. But something that you can't deny is that he's a fairly smart dude. He honestly could pursue an acting career if he wanted to as well.

"Birds charge on powerlines."
Well then explain the goose to me, pal.
The cool thing about this kind of satire, is that people with sincerely held crazy beliefs will probably try to debate it, inadvertently teaching themselves how to use basic critical thinking that they can then potentially, eventually apply to their own ideas and beliefs.
I did something similar with my mother once. She was going down a certain online conspiracy rabbit hole hole, eating it up, and mindlessly regurgitating it any chance she got. I remember asking her, "what kind of evidence would convince you that you're wrong?" to which she replied "I don't understand, it's true so no evidence could possibly prove me wrong".
So I invented an entire conspiracy theory about something I knew she would try to debate, as it was related to something she cared deeply about. I eventually managed to catch her out, as she would try to apply logic to my "beliefs", that she had made herself exempt from. She soon stopped talking about her conspiracy theories.
If you stop someone from a belief that maybe true? That doesn't make you right! Lol 😂 Take Bigfoot for instance if everyone in the world doesn't believe he exist does that mean Bigfoot/ Sasquatch is not real??? No it just means they don't believe it. But Bigfoot could still chase or kill you weather you believe or not! Lol 😂 🦍🦍🦍🦍🦇🐵🐒🙈🙉🙊👽👽👻👻👻🐻🐻🐗🐗🐶🐺🦍🦍🦍👣👣👣👣👣👣👣👣👣👣👣👣
The problem is they do use all kinds of things. All your mom had to do was Google patents and download them. Then she could have shown you evidence in various highly respected science, tech, biology journals to support her stance. Idk what conspiracy she was into, but most of the time people are simply to lazy to do the research and see that the alleged conspiracy theorist was in fact correct. Many are not true, but many are.
@@1993magen Oh I agree. I reckon most of them are at least mostly true, one way or another. The problem is that unless you're a polymath research genius, YOU are not going to be able to parse truth from deception. Most people aren't capable of that, even if they knew exactly where to look (which they don't). But everyone want to think that the truth is accessible to THEM. It's not.
The smartest people on this planet don't know what the whole truth is. At best they might have a small piece of it.
Be careful bc obviously, most are bs but technically, almost every undertaking on the face of Earth throughout history required more than one party.

I love how he's being humorous and bringing people together for a fun time without making it offensive, I notice a lot of people who say things like "we can't joke about anything nowadays" are people who want to say things that are racist, transphobic, homophobic, etc n excuse it with "it's a joke", but I believe those kinda people are why there isn't much to laugh about, injustice and oppression is not humor, it will always only be funny to those who believe in those ideals, but this silly little "birds aren't real" thing is something EVERYONE can laugh at, it is humor, and if you can't think of things like this instead of oppression, maybe you just aren't funny
Very well said
The misspelling of "threw" instead of "through" on the van makes it even better.
Plot twist: he actually works for the government and they’re planning to release surveillance birds but everyone thinks it’s part of the joke
My original theory was his dad works for the CIA until I watched this, lol. I live in San Francisco and can confirm that at least SOME birds aren’t real. I watched 2 hawks from my 16th floor smoking deck, one looked kinda fake. No joke, it lost power mid air and started spiraling, the real hawk docked the drone and they spiraled down together, I’m assuming to the ground? Or maybe it was an accelerated charge and they took flight before hitting the streets, lol. I’ve seen an old video for a remote controlled TROUT drone the CIA or FBI used to spy on a suspect in the 70s, and have read about giant cats in San Francisco late 1800s/early 1900s that used to hang out on the trolley tracks even tho they’d be getting mildly electrocuted, nobody could figure it out but it’s no mystery to me those cats were charging themselves, lol
I just watched the Vice Q-Anon doc, and now this. The juxtoposition is beautiful.
Birds know my SSN?
HA! The guy on the phone today said my SSN is expired so suck it, birds!
With all the issues happening in the world right now this is certainly the most important debate we should be having.
F it. Shoot the drones
Im thinking this pushes the more pressing debate of... Humans yay or nay?
So, revealing that you can build a company upon utter nonsensical paranoia belief is not important at the moment? Where have you been the last two years John? (In case your comment was cynical)

So twitter actually listened to them.
Did I just hear a word Genocide be used for birds, when genocide is not associated with other mammals other than humans since genocide is a term historically connected and was used toward the genocide, extermination and destruction of groups of people?
Birds know your social security 😂😂
Wtf? So Birds really are real?? 🦅 🐦
Dont be ridiculous
That's what *THEY* want you to think.
How do we know *YOU'RE* not a bird 🤔
With those bird questions of yours......

An occultist bird in sheeps clothing you have no one fooled
well if birds are drones the how the hell do they crap on me so frequent
anyone knows where to buy the merch??
This was so fascinating… Peter really has depth. I grew up in a somewhat similar environment and can relate. A great, introspective commentary on society. Bravo. Honestly, thoroughly enjoyed this.
The Guy is the best. He is showing you how ridiculous our country and government has become. This guy is next level
Yeeeeah , I'm pretty sure those werent his intentions.. feels way more narcissistic, sociopathic, and selfish
This is so true. Paralleled by Q conspiracies it is kind of the perfect answer to a pretty obvious question that a large amount of people can’t seem to see.
@@Dmed133 how so?
@@Dmed133 he started with 1 sign that was satire and went to a protest rally to make fun of them. it went viral and now he sells merch. its basically a t shirt brand
@@Alexandra_Wolf he probably crashed Q too. Waiting for a documentary from him on how he created it.
So....while I'm spying on the birds, the birds are spying on me?...🤯😆
Oh man, I thought it is a more interesting conspiracy theory, like birds never existed. That would be something...
The fact that we get free documentaries on CZcams by VICE is truly a gift. 🤙🏽

He DID create a conspiracy theory. All himself. I'm impressed and terrified.
it's not that impressive. anyone can come up with a conspiracy theory about anything
Actually he didn't.. "the government" literally has robotic birds, namely crows and hawks.. You can probably tell the difference between certain crows cuz they really aren't all actual birds
Eating tide pods was the start of this movement.
"Bird aren't real'
"me see someone cooking the bird"
me: hmmm
"Birds charge on power lines."
* Sprite gushes out of my nose as I try to laugh and swallow at the same time! 😂 I laughed so hard I cried.
I always wondered about that! 🤭
This man is a master troll and I love it
and a master ass hat
He simply knows how easy it is to fool conservatives.
Honesty that’s kind of offensive
@@dertythegrower you are asking about penguins? The long range units deployed in the Arctic? Of course they're an exception that's why they're huge. They can run for months on their batteries before returning to base.
Also if you really did see a pelican unit malfunction you should have documented it for the cause, now we have less evidence to fight the coverup. Great job
not, he's just dumb as a door. did your eard him speak?
RIP Peter Mcindoe. The government finally got him.
I have so many questions for the person who got a birds aren’t real tattoo.
Him: "I wasn't expecting it to be a thing..."
Also him: "BIRDS ARENT REAL ARE YOU BLIND?!?" from the top of his crazy van with a megaphone
"Any community that gets its laughs by pretending to be idiots will eventually be flooded by actual idiots who mistakenly believe that they're in good company. "
I look forward to where this will go
HBO-VICE is a racist media and organized crime media, and the boss behind it is CCP (CCP≠China). RICO Act applies to #HBO #VICE #IsobelYeung. Everyone has to be careful.

Taken over by actual idiots, of course.
Agreed :)
What do you mean “where this will go” this whole movement peaked like a year ago
Lmao alright he can have the birds aren't real club. I'm starting the "Every toaster and blender is a Decepticon club" 🤖🤖🤖
Best comment on the internet 👌🤣

"The university doesn't want me sharing this information". All too familiar. Steve K. Wasn't allowed to talk about FDA cover up at MIT, in his own auditorium. Kirsch auditorium
It’s satire. And it’s actually pretty damn well done. It’s trolling things like QAnon, flat earth, fake moon landing, lizard people, NWO, hallow moon, the far right 😂
Lol let me guess next you'll say the bay of pigs never happened
@@2loaves388 found the Q nutter
But it's actually trolling how people believe any narrative they are told, like the moon landing being real when it's the most plausible "theory" out of anything you listed. It's trolling people that believe whatever they are told
@@2loaves388 where's the link there? The bay of pigs is from what I've seen a well documented thing even right wing publications admit this
Yeah…because the left-wing nuts doesn’t just believe what CNN and MSNBC tell them to, huh?
I’m politically left of center but the last 10 or so years has taught me that the left is capable of absurdism similar to those they oppose.
The far-right and far-left are both full of people who simply believe what they are told.
It feels so good to see people making this kind of work. I feel less crazy knowing that I can see a conspiracy for what it is and I think Bird's Aren't Real helps others to do and feel the same.
a conspiracy *theory*
To think all it takes is one trip to Petland, and he’d completely change his mind 😂
Lol, but think about it "have you ever seen a baby pigeon" 😂🤣😅😉
In reality, that's scary that something can become alive like that and sustain and have such an impact... I wonder how many others have used this same tactic in a negative way and no one ever knew. Makes you think..
