I used to think the 'birds aren't real' thing was just a joke, but a video from a 2018 drone expo in Vegas made me actually look at the wiring.

Has anyone else seen that clip where the guy points out the tiny servos on a 'pigeon' model that's way too detailed for a prank?

Look, it's a drone expo. Of course they have hyper-realistic models to show off the tech. People build crazy detailed stuff for hobbies too. That wiring could be for a movie prop or an art project. It's fun to joke about, but taking it seriously feels like a stretch.

I was skeptical too until that video, and ruby_jones makes a good point but those details are wild.
