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.
This dude went so far I legitimately have to respect how in character he was. But man, what a way to realize how perceptions can be changed unironically in the path of that. Great watch!
"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 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.
@Chief Wildhorse umm only people that don’t really get a choice between who’s on tv say that…there’s a lot of them but they’re slaves as well. Granted they may have a little more because their white.
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.

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.
I don’t see a lot of birds, squirrels, deers, foxes and other animals anymore. The bees that came on my property for 13 years didn’t return in 2022. I hope they come back in 2023.
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.
I mean I thought it was genuine for a bit because every conspiracy theory is crazy and because I hadn’t looked into it. When he said that gen z just gets it, I thought if the gen z people on tik tok who are trying to convince people that cyclopses were real
I'm glad I found this, he has stayed in character so well I wasn't sure if he was a straight up nutter. The only danger/problem with this is there are people that will take it onboard and actually believe it. Edit: After watching this again I have to say I am "offended", I'm a boomer and had to ask my 36 YO kid what "Gen" he was ... He doesn't know. I have no idea what a gen X, Y, or Z is. I am fully onboard with this and it gives me hope and make me think maybe there is hope in the dismal world we live in. This made me smile all the way through. Mad respect to everyone involved in this. You are your the ones that will shape the future make it a bright one.
maybe it is a good lesson for those people, that the creator of the movement says he was trolling them. Hopefully will make them more sceptical of the information they hear in the future
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.
I believe this is the personification of post-internet art. It’s absolutely brilliant in every aspect of it. This story, written by all who choose to participate, is modern-day fiction. I’m actually awestruck by it all 🤯
Fan fiction at its best. All the quirky qualities of flat earth without actually having to pretend you believe in the conspiracy being promoted. Lizard people actually ate most of the birds but Hilary deleted that from her emails
it's perhaps perfect humour. and the fact that there are chapters means there are legitimate people who jus want an outlet to just embrace a full lie and act for a bit, kind of like playing pretend again like a kid. i think it's so fun and so wonderfully silly
This is one of the best conspiracies cuz all you have to do is shoot down a bird and find out for themselves 😂 Why won’t they? Those birds are nuclear powered man they dangerous 😂😂
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.
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?
Yes it is unusual for an American his age to be able to mislead the idiot masses so well. But then again....

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
@@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.

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
It is my understanding that the CIA trained them as part of their bird genocide and are planted in our homes to immediately kill new bird arrivals from outside the US.

@@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
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.

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.

Likewise, I've been in Kumamoto for the last 4 years and I'm literally returning to the States this week. So I'm super excited that birds aren't real. :)
Birds aren't real should take the proceeds of merch sales & fundraisers and put them towards preventing birds from actually being not real. Bird populations around the world have been drastically declining in the last 50 years. 90% of common birds are gone, over 50% of grassland birds gone, forrests around the world have lost over a billion birds in total. It's likely many bird species will experience a mass extinction event in the next 50 years. This guy has enough clout and platform presence to help people change that.
@@swankshire6939 lol it's okay to be full derp, i still love you. I've worked for non profits in the past, and even companies who fundraise for a specific action. If he was to convert to a non profit he would give himself a salary which is included in the cost of maintaining the non profit. He could give himself a 150k a great salary for all i care, the point of a not for profit company is not to have people work for free, it's to take all profit above costs and put that towards a cause. Now if he decided not to transition into that and instead wanted to formulate a specific fundraising event like teamseas he could create a specific line of merch which when sold would have a percentage go directly towards a cause.

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 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.

The government clearly forced them to say it was all satire.
Yes but there are truth to this because it was talked about years ago there video birds with 🎥
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.

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?
I mean I thought it was genuine for a bit because every conspiracy theory is crazy and because I hadn’t looked into it. When he said that gen z just gets it, I thought if the gen z people on tik tok who are trying to convince people that cyclopses were real
I'm glad I found this, he has stayed in character so well I wasn't sure if he was a straight up nutter. The only danger/problem with this is there are people that will take it onboard and actually believe it.
Edit: After watching this again I have to say I am "offended", I'm a boomer and had to ask my 36 YO kid what "Gen" he was ... He doesn't know. I have no idea what a gen X, Y, or Z is. I am fully onboard with this and it gives me hope and make me think maybe there is hope in the dismal world we live in. This made me smile all the way through. Mad respect to everyone involved in this. You are your the ones that will shape the future make it a bright one.

@@cloudyboy1756 Exactly!
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.

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

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!

Then she could have shown you evidence in various highly respected science, tech, biology journals to support her stance.

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*
Followed this since 2018, almost a relief to my sanity to see him break character for once finally :,)
He was paid off by "Big Bird" if you will.
Now this, THIS is trolling lmao 😂 guy is a fucking genius
some call it genius, those people aren't very smart.
@@vampcaff making money without breaking the law with something dumb yet funny while having fun is pretty genius if you pull it off

Y’all really deep faked him 😭😭
To everyone thinking this is real, keep watching, he explains how it's an epic troll
dropping out of college to "troll" irl is the exact opposite of epic.
This is lame af

@@elysetroubadour6117 you can always go back to college too. I’ve done it twice. Might as well hit pause and see where it goes once in a while.
I’ve been following this for years and I’ve told people like co-workers and friends about it and they’ve never heard of it I find that’s crazy.
how religious are those co workers?

Thats a real genius in act - he has a very rare and special kind of charisma, and a really clever, intuitive understanding of certain aspects of how fucked up the world is, and he is so honest and genuine here being exposes. This is a real gem
Reminds me of review bruh in a way.
You should watch yourself you might be a 🐑 sheep
@@CentralValleyKings are the birds watching?
My question is does everyone know it's just a joke or do some members really believe that "birds aren't real"? That would be hilarious
No one really believes it, it's just an internet joke. Got to admit it is one of my favorite
It was always clearly a great satire, I'm wondering how those interviewers didn't get it 😭. Maybe because they deal with crazy people on daily basis.
Dude....
Pigeons are Liars
The definition of the madness of our age and a brilliant way to put a mirror to it! Love it!
3:27 Alex Coleman just like, "Are you serious right now?"
I'm 50 and got the joke and the non-joke immediately. Just great stuff. My humor to the bone.😂
This is why the internet is dangerous.
*Can be dangerous
i used to believe birds arent real, but then i hit a bird with my car and my reality was shattered along with my windshield
Dude, that bird was just a PLANT sent by the GOVERNMENT to convince you that birds were real! Do not be deceived!
Eating tide pods was the start of this movement.

Yeah it is. Bless the idiots for even the meek will run circles round them in the end.
I’m actually relieved this is satire. I’ve been out of touch with what’s happening in America ever since I moved to Japan years ago, So I just wasn’t sure at first lol.
HAHAHAHA
鳥は嘘だ！！！

Likewise, I've been in Kumamoto for the last 4 years and I'm literally returning to the States this week. So I'm super excited that birds aren't real. :)
Birds aren't real should take the proceeds of merch sales & fundraisers and put them towards preventing birds from actually being not real. Bird populations around the world have been drastically declining in the last 50 years. 90% of common birds are gone, over 50% of grassland birds gone, forrests around the world have lost over a billion birds in total. It's likely many bird species will experience a mass extinction event in the next 50 years. This guy has enough clout and platform presence to help people change that.
I agree, turn it into a postive movement
and then how would he pay for food? why should he have to donate all his time and income to make you feel better about not doing anything?
@@swankshire6939 lol it's okay to be full derp, i still love you. I've worked for non profits in the past, and even companies who fundraise for a specific action. If he was to convert to a non profit he would give himself a salary which is included in the cost of maintaining the non profit. He could give himself a 150k a great salary for all i care, the point of a not for profit company is not to have people work for free, it's to take all profit above costs and put that towards a cause. Now if he decided not to transition into that and instead wanted to formulate a specific fundraising event like teamseas he could create a specific line of merch which when sold would have a percentage go directly towards a cause.
