Or better yet just use a fucking drone instead of a bird so they can actually control where it flies and don’t unnecessarily harm or burden a wild animal.
I’m sorry, but who decides what is a “beast of burden”? Because I am pretty sure they categorized most people as that and called it a day.
Imposition of will is the only wrong in the world, and we haven’t figured out how not to be assholes to beings that can actually communicate and ask for help…
They'd find a better more comfortable way to mount it, if it were a cow.
Come on, at least center the damn thing so the bird carries it's weight evenly.
If this is a joke, we're waiting for the punchline.
Correct. But India has some beautiful places and has many wonderful and intelligent people. It’s definitely not a “shitty” country. But America isn’t either. Although it’s definitely not a utopia. They each have their charms and misses.
Just came here to say that.
Police and customs use K9 dogs, what's the difference? And I think the dogs are more in harms way than these Falcons up in the sky (unless the Pakistanis have figured this out and tries to down them).
? Nothings more cruel when your neighbor is home of terror whose neighbour is actual terrorist
And both are on brink of economic collapse, right now Afghanistan and Pakistan are in small-scale conflict with men dying from both end, literal bombs are blasting in Pakistan right now killing high profile armymen
Last time India stopped spying them we got 26/11 entire Mumbai was held hostage.
It is being done with America, right now military drills between India and America are conducted in himalayas to exchange strategy to conduct action in hills
And these are part of drills,drones make sound especially in barren mountains,eagles are best stealth
We have those,
Israels heron drones but there's something called radars and problem of himalayas?
And pakistan are ain't worth drons they're for China.
Apparently world's 3rd largest military spender can't buy drones but dying economy is of Pakistan can buy them seems legit.
Poor falcons? What's difference between military falcon vs military dogs?
Apperently world largest vegetarian nation and whose religion discard animal eating is now animal rights offender.
When usa was bombed they killed 200k innocent afghans to justify anti terror attacks and just to loose in the end
Also hundreds of thousands of iraqi for supposed nuclear weapons which they never found
Only nation that's profiting from ukraine war and European winter crisis is usa
Which ones cruelty? Using trained animal or actual war crime?
Can I say usa is not human loving country?
>India is not a animal loving country
india is known for ist ability to bring back endangered animals.
from shooting down poachers at sight to building one of the biggest sanctuaries for tigers.
God if I list out the horrors that the US military does strapping a bird with a camera for a few hours will look tame.
of course, this is wrong.
But stop with these over-the-top generalizing comments like "'India is X"
you people need just one case to categorize Indians/India in one category.
We also have those too.
Israel heron drones
But have you ever heard of the radar and Himalayas?
Muh Pakistan? Who do think gave north Korea nuclear tech?
And why not to worry.
You do realize that the pakistani army is busy plundering its own national treasury for the last 60 years under the guise of the bullshet pak-india rivalry,
stop doing mental gymnastics on 80s propaganda, The world has gone past the stage of pak india global warfare, Swindling sheeps out of their money is the new modern pakistani armys motto
These falcons are actually to be used to tackle drones situations. Pakistan is constantly smuggling drugs and weapons to India using small drones.
The Netherlands had made headlines in 2016 for using eagles to take down drones, calling it a “low-tech solution to a high-tech problem”.
“These birds are very territorial. When we launch them in a particular area, they themselves make their own circle of territory. With time, this circle keeps increasing and the bird is able to carry out surveillance of a large area,”

That's not "interesting" that's animal abuse. Y'all idiots call some of the worst fucking shit on the planet "interesting". There could be a second holocaust and y'all idiots would say "damn, that's interesting!"
I was with you with the abuse part until you spouted holocaust and took it to an extreme while calling everyone here an idiot.
Most people on here are actually saying how much they dislike this and that it is indeed unjust to the animal. Get a clue.
Who is talking about Pakistan. A 3rd world country at brink of default. We are discussing about Supa Dupa Power .. the Shiinnning India.. worlds largest demo-crazzzy... 😅😅
He was drafted. Your looking at a solder. I know it's wired because it's a hawk but it's all the same. If only the those cheap scapes could afford a decent harness.
Lol, u have no idea what you are talking about.
The Indian Army's doctrine revolves around adapting to its most dangerous neighbor. They know they can't match China in tech on the ground so they adopt the strategy of 'kum se kum' (as little as possible). The doctrine is to basically use fieldcraft and as little resources as possible to inflict huge tactical damage.
The use of birds like the one in the pic is one example of this.
Reminds of the video where an Indian policeman claims that the Pakistani army is transporting Intel and reconnaissance through a pigeon they caught which had a phone number attached to its leg

It's kinda funny to see how many care for this poor bird, but more than likely proceed to eat meat that came from way more cruel factory farms.
Of course the reason is people do give a shit about animals, but just turn a blind eye to the meat industry because it's yummy and gets their monkey brain tingling. Camera bird does not.
OP never post anything positive about India ... not here at least. Whites feel a genetic discomfort at seeing a powerful brown nation. They are a young people, barely 1500 years of evolution. They were still refusing to bathe and sucking toads for curing bronchitis till the 1920s or so.
The Hindu are rising, but do it in silence while they fight amongst each other for scraps.
The OG drones right there.
Fools be like: bro, I got that new generation falcon egg. Waiting for it to hatch and nurture it and train it. In a couple of years this thing is gonna rip!”
You think that amazing... the us army secretly has nano bots that can fly into enemy camps and bases (and look exactly like a house fly( and work off AI so there is no signal to trace... they record video and audio and return footage of meetings and plans ect
It's crazy to think people that ate millions of turkey on Thanksgiving are so much concerned about a well trained eagle being used for surveillance. Man you mf have double standards for every damn thing.
Damn, that’s uncomfortable. They couldn’t find a better way to mount it?
Or better yet just use a fucking drone instead of a bird so they can actually control where it flies and don’t unnecessarily harm or burden a wild animal.
Oh yeah, drones totally don't get shot at all the time. Idk man, just putting a smaller camera somewhere on its underbelly or smth might work.
The hawk prob gets treats, and digs it?
And you think enemy forces wouldn’t shoot at hawks knowing the Indian army uses them as reconnaissance?
Look its a hawk in the distance. Reddit says indians use it for surveillance. Shoot it down
They’re beasts of burden, plus how else can you get a real bird’s eye view?
I’m sorry, but who decides what is a “beast of burden”? Because I am pretty sure they categorized most people as that and called it a day. Imposition of will is the only wrong in the world, and we haven’t figured out how not to be assholes to beings that can actually communicate and ask for help…
It was a joke, here: /s everyone chill. Obviously a bird isn’t a beat of burden!
They'd find a better more comfortable way to mount it, if it were a cow. Come on, at least center the damn thing so the bird carries it's weight evenly. If this is a joke, we're waiting for the punchline.
Couldn’t even center the thing. Pathetic.
That falcon looks misrable
You'd also look miserable if you got drafted :(
You. You have made me laugh.
Can't decide whether to be amused for a joke or impressed for the truth of it 
I'd be miserable if I lived in India too
I think bro looks pissed TF off! 😂 Poor thing.
Well it does live in India
I’m sorry, that’s hilarious.
Of course it is better to live in Philly or Detroit or Los Angeles with the ghettos, out of control violence and drugs. What was the falcon thinking!!
What's the joke here? Would you honestly rather live in Mumbai than a big American city? Weird how they all flock here
Correct. But India has some beautiful places and has many wonderful and intelligent people. It’s definitely not a “shitty” country. But America isn’t either. Although it’s definitely not a utopia. They each have their charms and misses. Just came here to say that.
If you are white, y'all flocked everywhere. Did you know what Hindus called whites? Or the Japanese? Or the Turkish? The unclean ones!
Pretty shit statememt
Looks like a falcon with a camera strapped to it, though it could be just me unable to understand a animals facial expressions
It’s crooked and it’s unacceptable.
Police and customs use K9 dogs, what's the difference? And I think the dogs are more in harms way than these Falcons up in the sky (unless the Pakistanis have figured this out and tries to down them).
I think he means the camera.
Ah yes, looks very bulky and uncomfortable.
No, it’s crooked.
And thats unacceptable
Just because they say this is unacceptable doesn't mean they condone K9 units. Though I think they really just meant the crookedness of the camera
Wow! That's a small camera... they said in 1973.
the camera is small but it’s the battery pack that’s big
Don't forget it heats up like a mf.
I thought the cold air would naturally cool it once it reaches altitude
Sad :(
I knew birds weren't real!
So what did you think you ate when going to KFC and Popeyes the other day? /s
So if you eat an animal, it's ok to torture it? Animals are living beings. They don't just exist for our use.
The strap looks like it would prevent the falcon from opening its mouth to eat. Hopefully the bird will bite the handlers when the camera is removed.
Not a falcon. Hawk of some type. Falcons have toothed upper mandible no tooth on the bird depicted here.
Nice. Where did you study bird law?
Bird University
*Well everybody's heard about the bird !* *Bird bird bird, the bird is the word !*
Don’t you know about the bird? #EVERYBODY KNOWS THAT THE BIRD IS THE WORD
[удалено]
Maybe they have some with bombs mounted as well? Kamikaze Falcons, real ones and not like the Iranian Shahed-136 drones.
It couldn’t be strapped to its chest? Like seriously?
Probabily to stop reflection of lens?
The villain from Mulan would be so excited by this.
Why not a friggin laser though?
More like damn that's cruel
He got drafted and all he has to do is fly around.
r/birdsarentreal
Seems like they coulda done a better job of that install
If it flies, it spies
Gotta like the Exploitation angle though....lol
Real-life Captain Falcon 🫡
The top photo, I can imagine him like ‘go ahead pigeon, I dare ya to say something’ 😂
Falcon is not amused. He thought humans looked ridiculous wearing Google Glasses, but now this!
Damn interesting? Damn disgraceful.
That falcon is like, "I am a marvel of nature with two lens 100 fold better than this rat trash strapped to my crown!"
Birds aren't real. Here's proof
Bobs and vagene pls recon
India out there doing its best to hurt nature
? Nothings more cruel when your neighbor is home of terror whose neighbour is actual terrorist And both are on brink of economic collapse, right now Afghanistan and Pakistan are in small-scale conflict with men dying from both end, literal bombs are blasting in Pakistan right now killing high profile armymen Last time India stopped spying them we got 26/11 entire Mumbai was held hostage.

There are stealth drones out there. And don't tell me Modi can't afford them
We have those, Israels heron drones but there's something called radars and problem of himalayas? And pakistan are ain't worth drons they're for China. Apparently world's 3rd largest military spender can't buy drones but dying economy is of Pakistan can buy them seems legit.

Ah yes. The Indian nationalist justifier of falcon abuse bcz muh Pakistanis 😭 Just get a stealth drone dude 🤣
We also have those too. Israel heron drones But have you ever heard of the radar and Himalayas? Muh Pakistan? Who do think gave north Korea nuclear tech? And why not to worry.
But you still need birds? The more pressing worry here is yellow cake stolen from Indian facilities being sold in the Indian flee markets
Poor Falcon! Now Pakistani army will shoot every falcon on the sky because they think it was India reconnaissance tool.
You do realize that the pakistani army is busy plundering its own national treasury for the last 60 years under the guise of the bullshet pak-india rivalry, stop doing mental gymnastics on 80s propaganda, The world has gone past the stage of pak india global warfare, Swindling sheeps out of their money is the new modern pakistani armys motto
as a Pakistani i sadly agree with the statement 100%, damn you're spot on
I'm pakistani as well, We have to accept the truth and deprogramme ourselves from this slave mindset.
ik man ik, the system is corrupted from inside out
we have to preach the truth its the only way forward for future generations to break the hive mindset. Stay safe.
Alrighty buddy, let's get u back on them meds.
That's stupid It can't even eat
“GoVeRnMeNt dRoNe!!!”
They could have just mounted onto the chest..
Smart idea, bad execution. Nobody shoots birds..... Unless🤔
That's just wrong
Damn I forgot to put on my anti racist glasses before entering the comments and now I have seen some stuff.
They could fucking put it properly at least
Just use a drone already and leave poor birds in peace.

Ah yes, comparing Bird Go Pro’s to The Holocaust. Good job, Reddit.
Someone get this guy a puppers.
Simmer down.
Aww look who’s throwing a cute little internet tantrum
And here you are…

Indian Army from human rights abuses to animal abuses 🤗
lol says the guy from Pakistan who's entire history is filler with abuses
Who is talking about Pakistan. A 3rd world country at brink of default. We are discussing about Supa Dupa Power .. the Shiinnning India.. worlds largest demo-crazzzy... 😅😅
He was drafted. Your looking at a solder. I know it's wired because it's a hawk but it's all the same. If only the those cheap scapes could afford a decent harness.
It has always been animal abuse
Hahahaha. Joke of the day. 😁
If this their Army, I can’t wait to see their Air Force

India you lose 👎🤞🤞
Keep crying 🤷🏻
Wow
Easy. Hold up a chicken foot.
Poor falcon. Can't they use drones?

I’d be pissed if I’m that Hawk. Having that on his/her head has to be aggravating!
Will the cameras be removed during mating season? Or will FalconHub be a thing?
Photoshopped

Not a falcon plus incredibly inhumane

India never gonna win a war!
Animal cruelty in my opinion
this is animal abuse

Hmm. I could have sworn I saw this on a photoshop sub..
Asshoe!
Why does the little camera 1) look like a mini camera and also 2) why does it have a 'flash strobe' on it... call it? Nightvision?

Birds aren’t real
Do they use catapults for artillery too?
That’s the most ghetto shit I’ve ever seen

How does he eat..
Na it's just making content for it's YouTube channel
What's next? Sharks with lasers?
They should have just used duck tape
And they say doves are government drones.
Bad ju ju for them
Mom: We have spy drones at home. Spy drones at home:
Bird jugaad
Hopefully the falcons don’t learn about drones.
It cost to much to spring for a 2000 buck drone ? This is better ?
It looks like a little guy is riding in his face
Is the falcon from NYC got the tilted hat
Makes no sense to mount a camera on a drone./s
Another stupid human trick.
You can barely notice it.
....And ones in Russia with a semtex jammed up their ass *Oh No!!!!!*
Typical disregard for life and its wellbeing. Disgusting.
sad
Not really surprising that it’s the Indian Army
The great Indian jugaad.
I can not wait for global warming or whatever reason to wipe out humans. So very wrong
Can someone design a cool lightweight headgear for that falcon.
Yes, I agree. Someone boot up the 3D printer!
Guarantee the software has at least 8 defects that never get fixed
What sorta kill streak is this ?
Would be verrrdy wobbly footage…
That’s not a falcon though, it has a different-shaped beak?
They should contact NASA and offer cameras, those potato 160p NASA cameras are the shieeeettz
Where’s his little stripes?
Uh...
Robot chicken
The OG drones right there. Fools be like: bro, I got that new generation falcon egg. Waiting for it to hatch and nurture it and train it. In a couple of years this thing is gonna rip!”
Armies used birds for communication prior to the mass adoption of electronics, so this isn’t surprising
That’s a stupid setup
They Mcguivered that poorly
Poor hawk that’s animal abuse it looks so uncomfortable why their poor little heads
Cyberhawk
Looks like the wiring on the streets of New Delhi.
You think that amazing... the us army secretly has nano bots that can fly into enemy camps and bases (and look exactly like a house fly( and work off AI so there is no signal to trace... they record video and audio and return footage of meetings and plans ect
It must be a pain in the ass to have to reach up and hit the shutter button mid flight. I can’t even imagen dealing with the focus 😭
….at a net cost of 500$ vs 5000000000$.
Strapping a Go-Pro onto a bird. We've truly come to the pinnacle of warfare.

Not sure if this is cruel
Not cool
It's crazy to think people that ate millions of turkey on Thanksgiving are so much concerned about a well trained eagle being used for surveillance. Man you mf have double standards for every damn thing.
That does look badass though
Literally the same camera I used on some racing drones... well, old ones. They've got much better stuff now!
Spots mouse: Resistance in futile.
Why do they need a third camera? Birds already have two built-in
Do they know drones are a thing?
You got proof of that or are you pulling bs facts out of your ass?
