Turkey Vultures

Are turkey vultures aggressive towards drones? They are surely curious, flying closely above and below at high altitude and at low altitude.

I have never had an issue with Vultures being aggressive towards my drone.

Hawks Eagles Falcons and Ospreys have all had a go at my drones.

Had a Falcon Dive bomb my Inspire 1, had a Bald Eagle attack my Phantom 4 and drop it in a river and a Osprey come really close for an inspection.

I think if you fly enough you will come in contact with birds of prey. It's part of the "fun" of flying lol.

Agree, a bald eagle came at my Phantom 4 one day and I managed to dive out of the way and an Osprey came out of a tree and chased my Inspire 1 as well, so yeah....birds of prey love to eat them....lol

I had a Peregrine Falcon dive bomb my Inspire 1 a few years back.
I Mean he came out of his stoop (dive) and let out a scream.

Scared me more than the Inspire scared him lol.

Bald Eagle basically used my P4 as a toy and dropped it in a river. Never did see that drone again.


Share there space with caution =)

I've had them come at my MP and as you said seemed more curious than in an attack mode. I just bolted up and away. After that they left the area and let me alone.
