Project Blue Bird is the name given to a fan theory / AU in the QSMP fandom that focuses on Jaiden Animations being an experiment created by the Federation.
Canon
The theory came about in response to the mini server event Can you hear it?, revolving around Jaiden's mission given to her by Cucurucho. Notably, Cellbit, who has his own ties to the Federation, recieved his own mission during the event from an unknown party, encouraging him to "follow the blue bird".
Jaiden is associated with birds by the fandom due to her having them in real life, and her character is frequently drawn with bird wings.
Fandom
An Archive of Our Own tag for the theory exists, with 15 works as of November 2023.
It is commonly discussed, and is a frequent topic referenced in fanart and other fanworks.

- why i'm put off by the "blue bird" or "test tube baby" theory/headcanon for q!jaiden, and why i think it's so reductive to her character, among other things a Tumblr post by cubitozinc (Nov 29, 2023)
- I truly believe Jaiden wasn't an experiment at all. I actually think she might have been the same rank as Cucurucho a Tumblr post by crychaoss (Sep 4, 2023)
