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.
