Return of the Bird Tribes

Air wars.


Mr Steven, who considers drones a "derogatory" term for the UAVs because pilots must pass a five-day course to fly them, showed delegates at the conference a recent photograph of an eagle attacking a UAV mid-air.

"People couldn't believe I was able to get such a good photo of an eagle airborne, but I didn't … another eagle took that photo," he said.

"I was flying the tailings dam out at St Ives and I was getting attacked by two eagles simultaneously.

[...]

"Nine out of the other 10 have been destroyed courtesy of this guy [eagle] — he's its natural enemy. They're big birds … the females are bigger and nastier."
Damn straight.
