Let's build a bird modem, and let them join Twitter!
It would also be quite fun to make a user interface where a bird could "fly" through Google Street View, and sense the location changing based on an electromagnet instead of the magnetic north pole that they normally use for navigation.
Since August 2021, I've been trying to apply UncleBob's advice to "clean as you go" (Scout Rule) and picking up litter while biking to work.

The birds have been particularly friendly and thankful. Pigeons and Pūkekos help pick up food from the ground. They're all surprisingly trusting (especially if I have some fish & chips to share). Seagulls look down, and shout about litter. Sparrows are smaller, faster, and have lower energy requirements, so eat smaller pieces of food.
So while I'm going around looking to pick up biohazard waste (used masks in bushes), the birds are helping, and it would be so nice to let them chat to each other, even if we don't understand their QPSK or other encoding schemes. Parrots get so bored in cages, let's put them on the Internet :)
