    Ken Heron claims RID is cancelled - For Now...

    Bird Avoidance

    Crow Attacks MA2

    My neighbor has homing pigeons that will circle about 40 feet below the drone if i put it up and hover. Not really attack, but more a defensive pose. They aren't curious enough to get that close though.
