AeroVironment, Inc.’s Nano Hummingbird. “The flight of a hummingbird has been fascinating to study since it is able to fly backwards and hover. The amount of energy it must use to flap its wings 12-90 times per second seems impossible for a creature its size. It also manages to control its flight so precisely that it can point its beak into a flower and drink the nectar directly while hovering.” PHOTO & TEXT/Biolocomotion
Human beings, fascinated by the flying skills of birds, must have dreamt of reaching the sky themselves too. But it’s the kite, the Chinese discovery which is credited for instilling in humans an idea of flying. But humans’ inability to fly led them to invent things that could, at least, lift them up. Thus we got hot air balloons, glider, airplanes, helicopters, rockets, and spacecrafts.
These inventions are also used to threaten, manipulate, and destroy the real or presumed foes.

Although the drones have been around for a long time now, the reduction in size with a a sleek look and the bird-like shapes have enhanced their ability to go undetected and create havoc.
“It’s a bird! It’s a spy. It’s both”
Now the latest version in drones is the newly developed Nano Hummingbird. The firm credited for developing this new destructive weapon is Monrovia firm AeroVironment, a research arm of the Pentagon. In the future, rest assured–in the near future, it will be able to spy on you by landing on the ledge of your window. Watch the following video:

The Pentagon, Homeland Security, CIA, FBI, and other government security agencies are going to employ these robot hummingbirds and the various new birds to be developed to harass, weaken, handicap, and kill those they think are not subservient enough to their dictates.
Some of the most heinous uses of these latest robots or drones that can be implemented by the US against the foreign or domestic enemies are:
1. They can release these hummingbird like drones in hundreds after the protestors, such as those of the occupy movements. Some of the birds can be made to fly by and touch the neck, skull of the head, or shoulder, etc. of the top leaders and leave a poisonous or anesthetic substance (depending on the intention: To disable temporary or permanently, or to kill) and thus making the movements leaderless.
2. To create panic among the female protestors, they can have these birds inject a sexual stimulant with their beaks in the bodies of male protestors.
3. If they decide to scare the hell out of the determined protesters or foreign enemies, they can dispatch big crow like drones. Remember the scenes from Alfred Hitchcock’s great film The Birds.
Crows Attack the Students – The Birds
That was a movie. But the real movies are coming very soon at a location near you or perhaps at you.
4. They can send drones to abduct the people they don’t like.
5. The tiny insect like drones can be directed through cracks or any openings into the residences of domestic “deviants”, “dissidents”, and “foreign enemy” leaders to take their pictures in intimate or compromising positions to blackmail them into silence or other purpose.
6. These drones can also be used to teargas or spray pepper the protestors.
7. They can also send these bird like drones alongside the real birds to create confusion.
None of the above scenarios are unbelievable. A couple of hundred years back there were no airplanes. Today’s world is totally different. The pace of technological progress is so fast that it would take a fraction of the time to develop anything new.
