When you understand how this happened you understand what biodigital convergence is.

Biodigital convergence on birds involves the physical integration of digital technology with avian biology to create hybrid systems where birds act as sensors or controlled entities. Key examples include "DragonflEye" technology, which attaches microchips and sensors to dragonflies to wire them into a control system, and the development of digitally manipulated insects such as "drone dragonflies" and surveillance locusts.

These applications represent a physical meshing where digital technology is embedded in biological organisms, allowing researchers to tap into the nervous system and manipulate neurons to alter function and purpose. While most cited examples focus on insects, the broader field encompasses brain-machine interfaces and biological bodies with digital brains, suggesting similar capabilities could extend to birds for surveillance, environmental monitoring, or scientific research.

Integration Method: Microchips and sensors are wired directly into the organism's nervous system.

Capabilities: Remote control of flight paths, real-time data collection, and altered behavioral responses.

Context: These technologies are part of a larger trend where digital and biological systems co-evolve to create new hybrid forms of life and technology
