EAGLE EYE BEAK STICKER TO SAVE FROM BIRDS ATTACK

[Mahesh mini2]

EAGLE EYE BEAK STICKER TO mini2 can SAVE FROM BIRDS ATTACK. Have any one tried.

 

[Phantomrain.org]

We have not only tried Stickers but every bright Color Combination you can think of and in the end there was nothing you could ever rely on.

One thing i have noticed though, is that the Sound , Pitch and tone of the drone can really alarm , notify enrage birds causing them to circle and attack,

We have quite a few of these attacks on record.

As far as seagull go, the more silent the Props the less chance you annoy the birds and the less chance they attack.

If you study Sea Gulls you will notice that some sounds they can handle just fine , but change the tone or the frequency and all 500 birds can take off instantly at the same exact time.

I think this same type sound sets them off in the sky if your in there frequent flying skies.

Notice when I am low and slow compared to when I am high and racing the motors

The best way to avoid birds is a vertical climb once spotted for attack.
I tried this same test with the DJI FPV and as soon as the motors started they took to the Air .

Won’t work.

Personally, I feel the hologram type skins are worth a shot if you're having bird issues a lot.
I've always had one in mind if ever I get regular problems with bird attacks, but I don't and just do the regular straight up fast / escape if I do now and then.

Hologram type material has been used for (just about) ever in bird control for farming, strips of this stuff hanging over vines, windmill blades etc, to scare off birds.

Here's another thread or two on it . . . there are probably a lot more doing a search . . .

Really need a tip to scare seagulls away

I am fighting with seagulls on every single shooting now and they are becoming more and more threatening. - They could care less about an extra strobe. - A speaker screaming like an eagle would mess up the compass because of its magnet. Please help. Any tip welcome.

Titan Silver Holographic Skin- Birds Away

HOLO-Drone by thomtwo posted Jul 4, 2018 at 5:10 PM --- I just ordered this Holographic Skin for my Mavic Pro Platinum from Titan Drones.-- I'm thinking the shine & color shifting should keep the birds from attacking my Mavic.

I had a quick search of a few drone skin suppliers, not able to find any for some reason.
Maybe the material is hard to use as a wrap / skin.

It might pay to find some adhesive tape in a small roll and try some strips here and there, a bit of snip and stick.

I always fix googly eye stickers to my drones.

That just might cause an attack. The eagle might see it as a threat.

Replace the camera on the gimbal with a machine-gun turret. 200 rounds of .303 caliber tracers should be good for a 20 minute flight. Reduce to 100 rounds for closer to 30 minutes. Reprogram the fn button to fire, and be careful to only push it on away flights.

.22 rat shot should be enough, surely
A lot more rounds, non lethal from a distance, and possible to hook up turret to goggles with gimbal head tracking on ?

It might be that the holographic types of material contain metal foil and might blank radio and sat antenna. Just speculation.

About as effective as Sonic Deer Whistles on the front bumper of your car I imagine...

 

[Badgersurfer]

Try a picture of a "Turd" on it... I can't imagine anything would want to attack a flying turd...

Or the shark mouth on a P-51. ?

The Flying Tigers flew P-40's in China. The chin inlet made it really work.

My thoughts exactly. Can't go wrong with that simple mod.

Dancing with the Devils Video: Why can't you leave the birds alone?

I suppose because Birds are like the wind , they are a Constant that need to be Negotiated.

I live on the Channel on the River and the Lake, birds are on my Balcony, , my drive. , my Patio, , on my boat, in the channel ,. at the gas pump, , in the parking lot, and my back yard patio , on the river and in the trees.

This same flock of birds have seen me come and go many times, either by boat, drone, car, motorcycle or my back door opening, one thig is for sure birds love to fly..

Right now we have an abundance of Cranes that are on the River and they use to fly away at the very sound of the drone but not anymore as they are getting used to the drone and now holding there ground , and allowing me to fly over them.

Protecting Nature is good but so is existing with them.

Thanks for explaining to me, why you can't leave the birds alone ("... because they are like the wind"). Interesting viewpoint.
