This summer has seen a lot of “Videos of the Day” featuring exotic locales we are adding to our bucket list.
Something we haven’t seen in a while is a good old fashioned drone versus animal video.
Fortunately, Melbourne Aerial Video has us covered. They just uploaded this video of a Wedge Tailed Eagle arranging a quick trip to the ground for their drone.
According to the YouTube page, no eagles were harmed in the inadvertent making of this video:
“Do not fly drones near birds of prey, they clearly attack seeing you as a threat or the right sized dinner. This will cost you money and potentially harm to the bird. This one was fine.. the drone needed some attention before it could fly again.”
