The hot duck has nothing on the Bionic Bird.

Is it a bird? Is it a plane? Is it a drone? Well, folks, it’s all of the above.

Perfect for drone enthusiasts who are growing bored of the current market offerings and want to play with something new, the Bionic Bird will reignite your passion for flying.

Check it out in action:

It’s equipped with two flexible wings to conquer the skies instead of the four propellers found on traditional drones. It’s designed to look and fly like a bird so much so that even actual birds get duped thinking it’s part of their flock. When it runs out of juice, just perch it atop the portable egg charger for a few minutes and let it take off again.

The Bionic Bird has an accompanying user-friendly Flying App that you download on your smartphone to pilot the drone. You can fly it with total control either indoors or outside at speeds of about 12 mph and an altitude of more than 300 feet. If you decide to play with it inside the house, just make sure your cat is out of sight to prevent attacks (seriously, it’s happened before). But don’t worry, the package comes with spare wings should the inevitable happen.

Normally retailing for $149.95, you can get the Bionic Bird on sale for $99.95 — a savings of 33%.
