    Next step is to figure out a way for the bird to pilot the drone, like those vehicles driven by mice or goldfish

      Also. I have a brilliant idea to stop ivory poaching. Let’s take those machine guns from a Ukrainian ground drone:

      Then mount them on some large saddle that can be fitted on an elephant’s back. Then rig up some mechanism for the elephant to control the gun. Perhaps some sort of large eyepiece.

      We won’t need to actively track down poachers. The elephants will be more than capable of dealing with the poachers themselves! With modern technology, we could literally give machine guns to elephants!
