Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No — it’s a gaggle of kelly green drones.

The Eagles will be hosting a drone show over the Philadelphia Museum of Art on Saturday at 7 p.m.

For about 10 minutes, the Philly sky will be lit by a brigade of drones programmed to spell out things like “Go Birds” or the “E-A-G-L-E-S” chant (in case some people need a refresher).

The team is encouraging attendees to gather inside The Oval— the plaza within the Eakins Oval on the Ben Franklin Parkway in front of the museum — for best viewing.

Attendees will also have a chance to win two tickets to Sunday’s NFC championship game between the Birds and Washington Commanders, scheduled for 3 p.m. at Lincoln Financial Field, according to a team statement.

During the show, the drones will beam a scannable QR code into the sky, which will allow entry into the ticket contest. Entrants must be at least 21 years old and reside in Pennsylvania, Delaware, New Jersey, or Maryland. Only one entry is allowed per person. (The contest is open from 6 p.m. Saturday until 7:59 a.m. Sunday. Entry is also available through the team website, philadelphiaeagles.com.)

Swoop, the Eagles cheerleaders, and the team’s drum line are scheduled to make appearances at the drone show.
