This would've ruined my day. While flying in San Diego, over water, out of nowhere a flock of gulls strafed my drone.

If we have learned anything , its that when birds do not find you a threat , they can navigate right around you.

In that dogfight it was a good thing your plane had body armor and self-healing fuel tanks! Glad you made it back to the carrier...

Close. I once read of one person found hi-vis reflective strips fixed to his drone kept the birds away. He tried different colours and the red seemed to work.

Just put the drone into vertical climb and climb out of the flock works as they cannot climb as fast as my drone ( Air3)
