Bionic Bird: a cat-foolin', smartphone-controlled ornithopter

Kyosho's $150 Bionic Bird is a smartphone-controlled ornithopter that is birdlike enough to fool a cat (or at least, the cat is pretending to be fooled).

The Red Ferret review says that the bird's controls are "very sensitive and easy to use…like you're directing the bird with your bare hands."

It's cute that the charge-station is an egg that the "bird" perches on, and the manufacturer claims it's the only drone that doesn't frighten animals.
