Original Note:

This claim is based on the "Birds Aren't Real" theory. It is a satirical conspiracy theory that believes all birds are U.S. government drones. It was invented by Peter McIndoe in 2017. It is a parody of real conspiracy myths and isn't true. (1) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Birds_Aren%27t_Real.
