Ichthyic says 20 February 2017 at 10:26 pm not the first time I have seen drones taken out by animals. seen several bird vids now, and even one kangaroo. apparently animals detest these things
latsot says 20 February 2017 at 10:37 pm This is one of the many, many reasons we all need eagles with cameras instead of drones.
Brian English says 21 February 2017 at 12:02 am Wedgies don’t like ’em either https://youtu.be/Hr-xBtVU4lg @chigau. I read somewhere that the Eagles have much better eye sight, can avoid the rotors.
Brian English says 21 February 2017 at 12:05 am Just saw this one of a Wedgie taking out a drone. https://youtu.be/vdgvlHH3JSA
latsot says 21 February 2017 at 12:20 am Like I said, we need eagles INSTEAD of drones. Or owls. Owls are good. Or herons.
chigau (ever-elliptical) says 21 February 2017 at 12:23 am Brian English #5 was a paper glider, not much of a drone #4 was awesome!!! go birdy!!
Derek Vandivere says 21 February 2017 at 8:08 am But are they training the eagles to do that like we are in Holland?
blf says 21 February 2017 at 11:07 am Some quick ‘Net searching indicates that yes, the French Air Force is indeed training the birds to do that, as is the Netherlands (These Drone-Hunting Eagles Aren’t Messing Around; and Eagles v drones: Dutch police to take on rogue aircraft with flying squad).

I thought 5 was motorized. Anyway, 4 looked cool.
