Bird Hazard deterrent placements on drone

[Trident]

Birds seem to like the Mavic 3 Pro, and a few weeks back had a whole flock try to attack ....so now that I got some google-y eyes and some red reflective......has anyone recommendations of where to "safely" place these on a Mavic 3 Pro so that they don't interfere with any sensors. Maybe the tape is too wide and it needs to be cut into strips to fit??
Love to hear from anyone who has already been down this path and hasn't had any issues with blocking sensors/erratic flight ... etc? I have got smaller eyes too, so maybe they work better on the arms?????

I know very little.

I do know that if the retroreflective material is metal backed, and it is placed over the GPS antenna, it does degrade it. There was another thread on the topic.

I don't know how much reflective stuff is adequate to deter birds yet.

My suggestion is for the top surface, put a small amount (dice to matchbox size) on, then test it and see if it starts exhibiting unwanted behaviors.

A list of where the antennas are for each airframe would be pretty cool.

Unfortunately, it appears that metal backing is essential to ALL retroreflective material, so there is no "if."

• Metal Backing:
  The metal backing, specifically the hemispherical aluminum coating, is crucial for the retroreflective properties.
