From their website: “Bird poop was originally thought to be oil discharge from earlier bird drone models. After further research though, this was disproven. Bird poop irregularly falls on vehicles in large amounts. Recent studies show that 87% of Bird Poop in populated areas falls on people’s cars. Why is this? Confidential documents leaked in 2018 revealing that “Bird Poop” is actually a form of liquidated tracking apparatus. If you walk outside and notice some bird poop just “happened” to fall on your car, be aware that you are now being tracked by the United States Government. It is recommended you clean your car exterior regularly to avoid this.”
There's a reason why most of those "protestors" are about 18-20 years old: Washington Square is essentially the campus of NYU and of course college students would flock to it after 6 weeks of the fall semester.
Right so after googling this for 2 minutes, it's actually a real movement to poke fun at actual idiot conspiracies. The genius of it is that morons to whom this movement parodies would flock to it as an actual belief.......because ....morons
"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."
This is literally how most of this stuff starts. Someone makes a joke and people find it funny and take it to the next step, then someone who doesn't know its a joke jumps on and it spirals into well .. Q, Pizza gate, and most of the crazier nazi like stuff they all came from people joking around.
Yes, I live in a condo. Ive seen many baby birds. Fun fact baby seagulls are grey and loud as fuck. Pigeons, a type of cliff dove make their nests on ledges, which is why cities are optimal places for them to exist. They also sleep on ledges and I've seen whole rows on tiny ledges just sleeping even though 90% of their body weight seems like it's hanging off the ledge.
One of my favorite podcasts had a running joke about a secret child hunting island for corrupt elites. They got so much mail by people believing the obvious joke that they're now calling onto people on their shows to not do stupid things and that it was all just a bad joke.
It is a massive satire that some 18 year old kid started 3 or 4 years ago and now it's spread. I wonder sometimes if there are followers who really believe it and are not in the the joke.
If I went to NYU I would love to skip class on a Tuesday get shitfaced and then chant about birds being fake. I wouldn’t believe a word I said, but I would have a great time doing it. So, I estimate that 61% of these people know that birds are real.
Was Q a joke? Flat Earth? Are you asking if people are dumb enough to believe this? There are people still looking for Bigfoot and the TV series has been on for 29 years they never found Bigfoot but every week they tune in thinking this will be the week!
Joking or not it after the last 2-3 years of dumb shit to protest this sounds like a fun dumb one to do. Just for fun. Fuck why not have a good laugh while youre there.
most of the young people there are probably there for the joke, that one guy at the end holding the sigh in his late 50's or so... yeah he looked fairly serious.
A lot of comments are pointing out "morons" who join this movement...but the whole point of it is to never break character. The ones protesting know it's tongue and cheek, but if they act like it, it will ruin the entire idea behind it.
You say this, but one of my former friends is completely convinced that birds are government drones. Where once he was joking, he's since adopted the delusion as full truth.
Yea but this is exactly how flat earth and qanon started. It was a funny meme and everyone at first was in on it, then people came in later who took it seriously. I just can't find this stuff funny anymore.
I'd argue that atleast a fair amount of them are joking and aren't being serious. And those people are GODDAMN SHEEPLE. WAKE UP AND SHOOT DOWN ANY BIRD YOU SEE. ONE LESS GOVERMENT DRONE SPYING ON US!!!!!!!!!
I think we're in a transition with this one, it's been around a good while now as pure satire. The satire is starting to be lost on some people that are prone to believing conspiracy theories.
I went! It was just a goofy thing to do if you were free that day. No reason other than "it's weird and sounds funny". Really wish I made a sign though haha
I'm going to assume that 95% of these people are just having fun and taking a piss and the remaining 5% include some number that actually don't believe in birds and some people that showed up but don't really know what is going on.
For those who don't know, the guy behind this sets up next to other protesters (Trump-humpers etc) and makes them look dumb by association. Frequently they leave in disgust :)
I did the Harlem Shake with a couple thousand people in Times Square back in 2013 based on a facebook post and reddit word of mouth. Theres more than enough bored 20 somethings packed into a dense space to pull off anything.
that's the kind of conspiracy theories that i miss, the early 2000-2010 ones where also funny as hell with the lezard people and the alien that built the pyramimd, and my favorites abouyt the davinci code ....good times
Birds not being real has been a long standing internet satire of the moronic blind distrust of "authority" and "the establishment/government" and the insanity that comes with conspiratorial thinking.
If only people could gather like this for shit that mattered in the states instead of stupid fucking memes and conspiracies. We deserve the shit years we're about to have.
I have a flag for my front door that says birds arent real, as a joke. I also have a garden flag that says eat trash hail satan once again a joke. I just love my elderly conservative white bread neighbors reactions. its the little things 😄
This is a hoax, parody of all the ridiculous conspiracy theories and how without doing even the most basic research it’s easy to spread a lie and pass it on as fact to someone else.
It's all fun and games until Trump supporters start fully believing and supporting this and merging into their other crazy conspiracy theories. Mental health in the U.S. is no joke.

What scares me the most is that if birds aren't real, who the hell is pooping on my car?
Sorry, my doctor recommended I eat more fiber

Here's a news story about this protest, which happened Saturday 10/15 at Washington Square Park.
There's a reason why most of those "protestors" are about 18-20 years old: Washington Square is essentially the campus of NYU and of course college students would flock to it after 6 weeks of the fall semester.
I know the guy that did this, BTW.
Thanks for adding this..
Lol I was just there on Friday. Missed the excitement :/
There were counter-protesters!! That makes my day!
Washington Square Park is full af of pigeons. Do you think someone just like grabbed one and showed it to them?
Right so after googling this for 2 minutes, it's actually a real movement to poke fun at actual idiot conspiracies. The genius of it is that morons to whom this movement parodies would flock to it as an actual belief.......because ....morons
"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."
Huh huh, flock
And then they will start shooting the birds. It really isn’t safe to feed more stupid beliefs to gullible people.
Poe's law has never had a wider effect.
There's no such thing as a joke anymore.
That’s also the problem with it. It starts as a joke but people don’t realize it and next thing you know they’re storming the capitol.
This is literally how most of this stuff starts. Someone makes a joke and people find it funny and take it to the next step, then someone who doesn't know its a joke jumps on and it spirals into well .. Q, Pizza gate, and most of the crazier nazi like stuff they all came from people joking around.
[удалено]
They got a REALLY GOOD point though....
Well you've gone and done it, I'm 100% convinced. Now to fanatically devote my life to the cause
There's a good reason for this. Pigeons stay in the nest until they are nearly full-sized with adult feathers.
I have, yeah. We nursed one to full health after it's mother rejected it.
I have, they prove birds are real because no way people would make them that ugly
I have: they stay in the nest till they're basically the same size as what you know as an adult pigeon.
Doesn't this only prove pigeons aren't real?
I have. They’re fucking ugly.
Not since 2001 I haven't.
Yes, I live in a condo. Ive seen many baby birds. Fun fact baby seagulls are grey and loud as fuck. Pigeons, a type of cliff dove make their nests on ledges, which is why cities are optimal places for them to exist. They also sleep on ledges and I've seen whole rows on tiny ledges just sleeping even though 90% of their body weight seems like it's hanging off the ledge.
I'm sorry, but I can't tell if they're joking...
The founder of the movement made it as a joke to point out all the ridiculous conspiracies. So yes, and no.
One of my favorite podcasts had a running joke about a secret child hunting island for corrupt elites. They got so much mail by people believing the obvious joke that they're now calling onto people on their shows to not do stupid things and that it was all just a bad joke.
I am willing to bet there is a mix of both
It's supposed to be a spoof that goofs on conspiracy theorists. Unfortunately, they may not understand it is bullshit.
It is a massive satire that some 18 year old kid started 3 or 4 years ago and now it's spread. I wonder sometimes if there are followers who really believe it and are not in the the joke.
they’re governments spies you SHEEP. WAKE UP
Go grab me a bird, right now. I bet you can't.
If I went to NYU I would love to skip class on a Tuesday get shitfaced and then chant about birds being fake. I wouldn’t believe a word I said, but I would have a great time doing it. So, I estimate that 61% of these people know that birds are real.
Exactly what happened with flat Earthers.
Here's a group from 60+ years ago that protested naked animals and demanded they all wear clothes:
Was Q a joke? Flat Earth? Are you asking if people are dumb enough to believe this? There are people still looking for Bigfoot and the TV series has been on for 29 years they never found Bigfoot but every week they tune in thinking this will be the week!
Answer me this though, have you ever seen a baby pigeon?!?!
Yeah its all satire. But it has a deeper meaning now I guess?
Joking or not it after the last 2-3 years of dumb shit to protest this sounds like a fun dumb one to do. Just for fun. Fuck why not have a good laugh while youre there.
I assume a completely made up estimate of > 98% are joking and only there for the laughs, but there are always a few real nutjobs in the lot.
most of the young people there are probably there for the joke, that one guy at the end holding the sigh in his late 50's or so... yeah he looked fairly serious.
have you ever seen a baby pidgeon????? i dont think so.
The real question is how many of them are just FBI agents trying to figure out if this is a cult or not.
Bird is the word
Oh.... have you not heard?
Ababababababababbbbaaaabaaa.......
Birds aren’t real and I’m the new king of Spain
You dropped this king 👑
Once I was the king of Spain, but now I eat humble pie
Creed Braton IS the new MANAGER!!!!!!!

Here you go , have a 👑
And Dolly Parton sleeps on her stomach
Clearly they’re government drones
The nest doesn’t charge them. Power lines do!
why did you put the /s there? you know it's the truth.
I was with you until the /s 😂😭😂 🤷🏾
COVID lockdowns were just to get people inside so the FBI could change their batteries.
I think there's an unspoken "obviously bullshit" notion. A social excuse.
This is how things like flat-Earthers and QAnon start. It's all a joke until idiots take over and take it serious.
Tribalism is stupid powerful. Many times, the core belief eventually ceases to be what draws these groups together.
I wish the spies would stop eating all the new grass seed in my garden
How else they gonna recharge that battery?
They charge on the power-lines
All these comments and no one is talking about a portrait video cropped into landscape? This is why we can't have nice things, people
Portrait videos aren't videos
And the top and bottom cut off so you can't read the text.
Ive played Fallout 4. I know the truth. Birds are all just spy cameras for The Institute.
And you can see the joy on their faces too, premium trollage.

A lot of comments are pointing out "morons" who join this movement...but the whole point of it is to never break character. The ones protesting know it's tongue and cheek, but if they act like it, it will ruin the entire idea behind it.
I died when they boo’d the flock of birds that flew by
Also, birds aren’t real
You say this, but one of my former friends is completely convinced that birds are government drones. Where once he was joking, he's since adopted the delusion as full truth.
It is ‘tongue in cheek’…
Yea but this is exactly how flat earth and qanon started. It was a funny meme and everyone at first was in on it, then people came in later who took it seriously. I just can't find this stuff funny anymore.
... saying something is real and acting like it is 100% of the time might as well make it true to you, you... clearly realize that, right?
I mean. Couldn't they protest for universal healthcare or something?
That’s not thousands…
They used Trump Crowd Measurement Services, LLC.
Oh god. Another joke that will inevitably lead to some people actually believing in the movement.
You're a bird believer? I bet you think the moon is real, too. smh
With out a doubt, 3 years from now Qanon will have folded this into their overall beliefs..
Don’t look up
I'd argue that atleast a fair amount of them are joking and aren't being serious. And those people are GODDAMN SHEEPLE. WAKE UP AND SHOOT DOWN ANY BIRD YOU SEE. ONE LESS GOVERMENT DRONE SPYING ON US!!!!!!!!!
More people attended this rally than the last Trump rally.
B I R D
Birds are rats with fake wings glued on
it's ok, I'm pretty sure these people are part of a satirical movement, they don't actually believe it.
I think we're in a transition with this one, it's been around a good while now as pure satire. The satire is starting to be lost on some people that are prone to believing conspiracy theories.
No way sherlock. Top tier mind here.
The movement was begun as satire, but it's almost certain at this point that it has many members who don't know that
BirdsArentReal
Can't believe it took way down here to find a link to the sub lol
Ah! A fellow truther! Are you also a member of
bird up
Broooo the bagpipes at the beginning got me
So who's been shitting on my car?
Not birds
That’s not shit…
Another interesting conspiracy, if you think about it, almost 100% of people that has consumed water has perished. Coincidence? Absolutely.
Why would an entire branch of the legal system exist for something that’s not real? BIRD LAW.
I went! It was just a goofy thing to do if you were free that day. No reason other than "it's weird and sounds funny". Really wish I made a sign though haha
A lot of y’all haven’t seen the “the birds work for the bourgeois“ video and it shows
Look for the interview the founder of the movement did with Howard Stern. He explains the movement fully and displays tons of personality.
Incredibly funny. The booing at the flock flying overhead is fantastic
for those who dont know, "Birds Arent Real" is a meme that mocks crazy conspiracy theories. its a big joke, be in on it.
Problem is there will be people walking away from this event thinking they learned something
That's why we were in lockdown, to change the battery's
Free kool aid
I love how much this is confusing people lmao
That’s a lot of people all having a good laugh isn’t it? Isn’t it???
I feel like in 20 years some people will take this too seriously and become the very thing they are mocking.
The majority is folks are in on the joke, right? Right?!
Is this a lark?
They look like they're having a good time, rather than shitting themselves/getting mad about a non existant issue.
I'm half certain the whole flat earth thing started as a joke. Please don't let it happen again.
Five seconds of fact checking reveals that
I'm under the impression this is a joke and people blindly followed.
Is this gonna be like when we joked about flat earth and then realized half the population might believe it
I always thought this was just like flat earther stuff, but these people are utterly brilliant.
Seems there are more idiots who believe these people are serious then there are actual people in the movement.
My grandfather invented birds.
looks up Thank you, grandfather.
Join us on
I'm going to assume that 95% of these people are just having fun and taking a piss and the remaining 5% include some number that actually don't believe in birds and some people that showed up but don't really know what is going on.
Thats probably 100% what happened
birdsarentreal
For those who don't know, the guy behind this sets up next to other protesters (Trump-humpers etc) and makes them look dumb by association. Frequently they leave in disgust :)

Yeah cause they aren't real, your all being lied too.
I did the Harlem Shake with a couple thousand people in Times Square back in 2013 based on a facebook post and reddit word of mouth. Theres more than enough bored 20 somethings packed into a dense space to pull off anything.
Remember this when you see people thinking a large protest means their issue is important or of widespread concern.
Finally, someone with an important agenda.
that's the kind of conspiracy theories that i miss, the early 2000-2010 ones where also funny as hell with the lezard people and the alien that built the pyramimd, and my favorites abouyt the davinci code ....good times
I'm a bit torn. On one hand, this is hilarious and everyone looks like their having a good time.
Yall know theyre trolling, right?
How come birds be real if our eyes ain't real?
Booing birds is the funniest shit I've seen in a while.
This is what happens when thousands of people who dropped out of high school get together in one place.
I feel like this is how the flat earth thing started too. A joke that went a little too far.
Birds not being real has been a long standing internet satire of the moronic blind distrust of "authority" and "the establishment/government" and the insanity that comes with conspiratorial thinking.
Gotta be a fun community event or something , I’m sure these people aren’t serious haha
This is great because 90% of these people are totally joking
Just a bunch of giants fans who can’t believe the eagles are 6-0
God damn it people! Stop starting joke cults! They keep turning into real ones!
Slowly going from irony to reality just like the flat earth movement.
If only people could gather like this for shit that mattered in the states instead of stupid fucking memes and conspiracies. We deserve the shit years we're about to have.
imagine existing in the world believing birds are actually real... i wish i could be that naive
The constant looking around thinking "We're all being ironic... right?"
I wish stupid people weren’t real…
We are not a serious country
BirdsArentReal
Commitment to trolling at this scale. Gotta respect
finally a cause i can get behind
BirdsArentReal
This is why the rich are getting richer, cuz people are wasting their time with unproductive shit
50% of attendees don’t support the movement. They are there to be ironic.
This is all a big meme
I hate these guys. All of them.
I’ve photographed 165+ species, prettttyyyy sure they’re real… but hey what do I know
Is this still funny or is it played out?
The booing the birds is taking me out.
Why is this more crowded than either Trumps Inauguration or the riots on January 6 though lol
99% joke
I have a flag for my front door that says birds arent real, as a joke. I also have a garden flag that says eat trash hail satan once again a joke. I just love my elderly conservative white bread neighbors reactions. its the little things 😄
This is a hoax, parody of all the ridiculous conspiracy theories and how without doing even the most basic research it’s easy to spread a lie and pass it on as fact to someone else.
You know what is real?
The Marines wants your location.
It's all fun and games until Trump supporters start fully believing and supporting this and merging into their other crazy conspiracy theories. Mental health in the U.S. is no joke.
I wish i could afford having so much spare time
Berd
isnt this a couple years old?
Then what have I been living with all my life?
That’s why we had the COVID shutdown so that the government could re-charge them all. jk
[удалено]
I like to think this is a joke, but who the duck knows anymore.
Those people aren't real
Wtf is shitting all over my balcony then?
I have eaten birds. They are real.
Imagine being an actual bird up in the trees watching this and being like WTFFFF
Dead horses aren't real either apparently...
Stop drinking lead!!!
Finally people are starting to see the truth! R/birdsarentreal
