The process of flight has amused humanity for centuries. Getting something in the air delights everyone. Planes and the like may make us smile but they probably freak birds right out. If you want to watch something zip around in the air while also being considerate to our avian friends, check out the Bionic Bird, the robotic bird you can control with your smartphone.

This bird comes out of the box ready to fly. It’s compatible with both Apple and Android products. You can fly this bird both in and outside of your house, the controls are very sensitive and easy to use. It’ll be like you’re directing the bird with your bare hands. Which you almost are.

This is also a more nature friendly option for flying toys. Because it looks like a bird, the device doesn’t scare them. It may even attract them but be warned, it may attract predators. It should be fast enough to outfly the animals that want to eat it. Although they will be very disappointed if they do manage to catch the thing, it’s made from elastic foam, not meat. The Bionic Bird €119.
