Rovio, the creator of Angry Birds, has decided to give humans a taste of their own medicine in its new stunt – revenge of the birds.

The humans - Peter “The Mighty Eagle” Vesterbacka from Rovio, Rhett Allain, a WIRED science journalist and Angry Birds fan Jonas Persson – were put on ski carts in Sweden, where the movement of the karts were in the hands (or rather, claws) of chickens.

Motion-tracking technology was used to track how the chickens moved their heads, in order to control the direction of three ski karts.

The stunt to place to celebrate the latest Angry Birds Go! Sub-Zero update.
