3 If you have birdphobia don't watch this

A gentle holiday moment for you. I think this was my most enjoyable 2 minutes of flying ever. I honestly believe these cockatoos were happy for me to join their flock for a while. Select to view in 4K is best.

Don't we all, close relatives but not close enough I think!

Here is the term I think you wanted.

Frankly, the birds kept flying away from the trees as the drone approached. That's ok though. I would have done the same thing.

This is an amazing view of so many beautiful birds. I don’t have a fear of birds in general but I do have a fear of them knocking my drone out of the sky. You did a great job with this! Keep up the great work!

They flew "away" once as the drone approached, but they joined the drone in-flight several times after that. Rather than flying away it could equally be seen as them taking off to get a closer look. Corellas are very curious of drones, and I have observed their behavior all over Australia.

I’ll second that. I was taking aerial shots at one of the many silo art sites in South Australia and shortly after take-off my drone was surrounded by them. No attempt to attack. I landed and many of them flew to the ground and walked up to the drone to take a closer look. Again, no attempt to attack just a look of curiosity. Once they eventually dispersed I launched again and all but one took no notice at all.

They are very intelligent, playful birds and take interest in anything new to them.

For a different family Christmas photo, I put my drone up and within a minute or two, 3-4 cockatoos started coming to where we were. Enjoyed your video. Thanks.
