Birds VS Drones Attack by Birds

Yep birds are territorial and will attack any invader, I've seen a few quads taken down by birds in the years I've been flying.

They nest on the floor in yhe grasses and will defend young. Dont fly there

By a bird of prey I presume... I doubt anything smaller than a hawk will take down a Mavic

Actually any bird is capable enough, it only takes a few to swarm the quad and for one to hit a prop and its down you go.

The Mavic is a bit more robust than that tho... A hit on a prop is certainly not enough to bring it down (not like I'm speaking from experience or anything *cough cough*)
I'm willing to think the hit will have to break an arm for the Mavic to come crashing down.

A prop hit will just cause it to loose a few feet and expertly recover as long as it's high enough and the thing doing the hitting stops. (in the case of a small bird i.e a swift,..... Well RIP Mr Swift)

Something a lot smaller can take out a prop ... and quads are not good at flying with three.

I have a red skin on mine to avoid birds attacking it

And first it work? I have a red skin too but that hasn't reduced the interest from birds

It seems to. I fly a lot at the beach and the seagulls avoid it every time.
