Is it such a leap in logic to suggest that the Makemake were/are Alien Beings (Gods) and that the Bird Cult were/are spaceships?

I believe that is the definition of "leap of logic."

Instead, consider this explanation of the bird cult, snagged from
http://pvs-hawaii.com/Education/ed_rapanui_history.htm

"The importance of the fowl as the sole domesticated animal, the annual migration of the sooty tern to a near-by islet to breed, the village of Orongo with its carved rocks overlooking the course, and the development of the bird cult are all in a natural sequence that could have occurred nowhere else but on Easter Island."

Cheers,
