A lovebird unable to land normally was carried through the air inside a small transparent cabin attached beneath a drone, according to reports about an unusual pet-care project in the Philippines.
The bird, Nitya, belongs to Marc Joseph Colando in Davao. Reports say a cat attack left her with lasting movement and coordination difficulties.
A cabin beneath a drone
UPSOCL’s July 2026 account describes a cabin made from a plastic bottle and credits the accompanying imagery to Newsflare. The device carried Nitya while Colando controlled the drone.
The distinction matters: the invention transported the bird. It did not restore the coordination or physical abilities affected by her injury.
La Lista also reported the story, describing the transparent capsule and the online response. Colando’s account emphasizes his care for the bird and his belief that she is comfortable during the flights.
What the video cannot establish
Viewers can see the unusual arrangement, but footage alone cannot prove that a bird feels happy, that a device is stress-free or that it has received veterinary approval. Those claims require evidence beyond an owner’s interpretation of chirping or behavior.
The available coverage does not provide independently reviewed veterinary findings about Nitya’s injury or the effects of the flights. Exact injury dates and a detailed testing history therefore remain unconfirmed here.
The project is a striking example of an owner adapting technology around a pet’s limitations. Its emotional appeal can be described without presenting the device as a proven treatment or declaring the bird’s experience medically established.
