Peter McIndoe, Public Information Officer for the world-renowned Birds Aren’t Real movement (Birds Aren’t Real is a humorous conspiracy theory that claims birds are really drones used by the US government to spy on American civilians) has passed away, he was 26 years old. In 2017, Peter discovered the truth via a mix of his own investigation and dreams filled with prophecies. He has been traveling and campaigning in several places over the last seven years, expanding the cause through local organization and demonstrations.
McIndoe was highlighted on the New York Times front page as well as 60 Minutes. Millions of people have joined the campaign thanks to Peter’s efforts, which may even rescue the globe. He lived in New York’s Brooklyn.
Birds Aren’t Real
The humorous conspiracy idea was developed “on a whim” by Peter McIndoe in January 2017. At the 2017 Women’s March in Memphis, Tennessee, McIndoe put “Birds Aren’t Real” on a sign and made up a “spontaneous joke” with the pro-Trump counter-protesters about a conspiracy theory. The satirical movement began when a video of McIndoe participating in the march went viral. His Facebook post from 2017 read, “I made a satirical movement a few months ago, and people on Instagram seem to like it a lot.” He then denied writing the message, claiming it was written by a sacked employee, and he didn’t acknowledge, until 2021, that he didn’t really think there was a conspiracy.
McIndoe has promoted the Birds Aren’t Real campaign with numerous interviews and media appearances. He claimed in 2021 to be a full-time representative of the movement who earns money through item sales. Using bothsidesism to promote Birds Aren’t genuine, McIndoe said in a 2019 interview with WREG-TV that he was outraged by a query about whether the movement was satirical since no one would ask the contrary position, which holds that birds are genuine. McIndoe passed out during a live TV interview with Chicago’s WGN9 on January 6, 2022. Adweek referred to it as a “pretty joke,” while McIndoe described it as a “hit job.”
