I don’t understand. They have drones carrying semen... are they... raping the female birds with drones?

The conservationists are the ones carrying out the artificial inseminations. The drones are only used to ferry the semen from one island to the other.

The article doesn't clarify why they are using the drones for transportation but it is probably cheaper and/or faster than doing it the old-fashioned way.
