The Ghost Bird

Cross-species genetics are a factor of science all but untouched by ethical scientists today, yet the fact of the matter is that with enough effort and research and proper testing, warfare and indeed life itself would be drastically different. In this sense, the basis of "The Ghost Bird" starts with such experiments being covertly conducted throughout the mid 20th century, and the results, although beyond what could've been imagined, were horrifying. Furthermore, man in this surreal existence has had to deal with this mistake for just short of 100 years, and all while keeping the public eye blind to this plague of Bird Men.
