BIRD ATTACKS!

[mavic6611]

Best form of escape? Ascend or descend?

 

[msinger]

Either works since birds cannot fly straight up or straight down.

Birds of pray can dive though I guess

I dodge eagle , hawks, ospreys, galahs here in Australia by ascended quickly. Flying away 800m, then descend while flying back to home at the same time.

Yeah I definitely think ascension is the best option when faced with this scary situation

 

[barrancos]

A bird always tends to descend, as it has no engine. Ascend

Pesky little fowl

Yup. Up is key. If you are lower than the raptor, you are prey. Bit yeah, birds can't gain altitude very quickly, but YOUR bird can. Rise like a phoenix.

I messaged a bird of prey reserve last week to ask how likely it is a Buzzard would attack a drone. They said it's very unlikely they would see it as prey. But not unheard of.

Attack with extreme prejudice and furious anger... always seems to get me out of trouble..

That sounds like a line out of Titan fall? [emoji2]

I sent a Mavic up to scare a Hawk that was picking off my chickens. The silly sausage decided to attack it so I fought back and beat him off. It was either invest in chooks for my food or let some bludging parrot take advantage of me.

Hawks are wimps. I saw a bunny successfully fight one off.

Anyway, yes ascend straight up.

These stickers may also help.

Thanks I'll definitely consider this decal

Don't back down with aggressive birds, if they want to have a go, establish your dominance and see how good the macro mode is on your mavic.,

I think the best form of defence is probably fast ascension and then escape. Those Buzzards are big birds. It would be like a 5 year old trying to have a scrap with Mike Tyson

 

[dewster]

Ascend. The Mavic climbs faster than descends. The birds will have to circle to gain altitude and continue their pursuit. That should give you time to get some distance and cause them to lose interest.

Sometimes you have to fight the urge to land to save your craft when chased.
