[@bubblesofthecoast6393]

2:43 Unironically, there was an attempt to use pigeons to create a homing bomb. By training the pigeons to peck on where the ship was (when projected on a screen to the pigeons), the bomb would be guided to the target. However, since the pigeons would be on the bomb itself, it does mean the pigeons would be lost in the process, but small price to pay for the sinking of a battleship, I suppose

Dr.FlygonHG, more like, Dr. I don't know what I'm talking about and don't know what's a true bird because I'm a stupid Poketuber who want his advenue moneys, screw the fans. Like a bison is not a bird. Butterfree is not a bird. Charizard is not a bird. The bird facts are too distracting and pointless. The narration is even more cringe than before. He treath really his viewers like we're just brainless and lack of intelligence. This video insult my knowledge so much and that bothered me.
