The true story of the greatest conspiracy in US history—and how to fight back.
Have you ever seen a baby pigeon? You haven’t, have you? No one has, not in many, many years. They used to be everywhere. You couldn’t walk out of your front door in New York City in the 1930s without seeing dozens of those little guys scurrying around. Today, there are millions of grown up pigeons in New York, but not a baby pigeon to be seen. That’s because they come out of the factory as adults.
This is one of the many smoking guns of the bird drone surveillance crisis. Since 1959, the Deep State has mercilessly slaughtered over 12 billion birds and replaced them with identical drones that are designed to spy on private citizens and report their every action directly to the government. From pet canaries to Sesame Street, the shadowy figures that pull the strings have infiltrated every aspect of our society, making a mockery of civil liberties while the American people live in blissful ignorance. Until now.
In Birds Aren’t Real, whistleblowers Peter McIndoe and Connor Gaydos trace the roots of a political conspiracy so vast and well-hidden that it almost seems like an elaborate hoax. These hero Bird Truthers have risked life and limb to compile and disseminate a treasure trove of information about the origins of the surveillance crisis, its spread, and the patriots who are on the front lines today, raising awareness and working to reclaim America as the land of the free. This urgent manifesto features a host of useful illustrations, activities, and leaked classified documents that will convince even the most outspoken skeptic that birds aren’t real. The truth is out there: will you stand and fight before it’s too late?
A Macmillan Audio production from St. Martin’s Press.
Peter McIndoe is a son, a scholar, and Public Information Officer for the world-renowned Birds Aren’t Real movement. Peter came to the truth in 2017 through a combination of prophetic dreams and independent research. He has spent the past 7 years of his life on the road, campaigning in different cities, growing the movement through rallies and grassroots organizing. He’s been featured on 60 Minutes, and the front page of the New York Times. Peter’s efforts have been credited with growing the movement to millions, and will possibly save the world. He currently resides in Brooklyn, New York.
Connor Gaydos was born in an undisclosed location far from civilization. His father Clark was the founder of Birds Aren’t Real in the 1970s, and after his disappearance in the mid 90s Connor was raised by his uncle Leon. In 2016, Connor ran away from Leon and has since given his entire life to you, the people of America. He knows the risk he’s taking by attaching his name to this book, and asks that if you work at the CIA and are offended by what’s inside, you take a few deep breaths and spare his life.

“[A] meta conspiracy movement, set to out-conspire all other conspiracies.” —Vice
“This is Gen Z’s attempt to upend the rabbit hole with absurdism.” —New York Times
“The most perfect, playful distillation of where we are in relation to the media landscape we’ve built but can’t control…It’s a conspiracy-within-a-conspiracy.” —The Guardian
