These would have fantastical scouting capabilities. Pretty alright at being undercover as long as the target isnt looking for them. You could easily storm a few places unexpectedly with a little bit of explosives and these. This is that shit the Wizard and the evil chick were drooling over in Wicked.

If your putting explosives on these things I don’t think it matters. You wouldn’t hear the whirl of the rotors until after it got within striking range.

  I would assume the visuals are key here. You can’t normally hear birds flapping anyway. They just look like birds.

It’s the perfect weapon to spy on other countries for them because any bird would stick out like a sour thumb in China so it can’t be used against them. Meanwhile in other countries it wouldn’t even be looked at.

  Is this a Mao Sparrow reference or did all their air pollution kill the birds?

    Their bird population never recovered because even migratory birds have their fixed routes and when you exterminate thousands upon thousands of swarms that have settled there for countless generations it breaks the cycle. I guess environmental pollution also doesn’t help. It‘s not like bird populations are doing great anywhere these days but with that history it‘s extra hard for them.
