Mavic 2 pro birdstrike

[Rolocopter]

Hi all.

My drone unfortunately drew the attention of some seagulls and one of them had a go at the drone.
I'm wondering if anyone has any advice for me. It hasn't altered the flight of the drone which is good.
However, having read a few topics online, they stated not removing the screws holding in the forward feet, Should I be worried about doing this to try and fix the foot back in place?
And does the damage look bad enough to get it replaced?

Thanks

Scott

I have read that if the drone attracts the attention of birds then the best method to avoid this is to climb and then move away - then descend if that of any help.

As for the damage, I can't comment since I have never damaged any of my a/c. YET

Yes always fly up and away never down as any bird finds it hard er to fly up as opposed to down

I bent a leg like that, popped the lens cover off, loosened the screw behind it, got the leg hot with a hair dryer, eased it back straight, put screw and lens cover back, good as new.
