It's a shame passenger pigeon nets have fallen out of style. I imagine you could catch a lot of ducks with one of those

How about something more beginner friendly, like a goose or a swan?

There are no wild birds, because there are no birds at all. You can pet the drone once the battery has run out

It’s fledgling season in the northern hemisphere, and lots of fledglings don’t naturally have a ton of fear of humans. Adult birds might also ‘let’ people pet them after a window strike; they don’t always look like a bloody mess so people don’t always realize how injured they are.

Usually the ones that let you approach are the sick or injured ones
