youtube eagle vs drone

Melbourne Aerial Video had to had some new operating procedures to their drone when a 2m wedge-tailed eagle took down their drown while filming. The massive bird was fine after using her talons to ‘punch’ the drone out of the sky. Even going so far as to hang around after the drown was earth bound.

Melbourne Aerial Videos shared this video with this tip – “Do not not fly drones near birds of prey, they clearly attack seeing you as a threat or the right sized dinner. This will cost you money and potentially harm to the bird.”

I guess we all know who still owns the skies.
