At this point, you would think videos of birds knocking drones out the sky would be getting old. I will let you watch this one and make your own assessment, but we still get a kick out of it.
That being said, now that we have seen everything from a kangaroo to chimpanzees winning fights with drones, might I suggest the next Joe looking to get YouTube views via man versus robot videos attempt a little more interesting matchup?
Maybe drone versus elephant? Or a rhino? Or a cassowary? Yes. Cassowary. That would be awesome.

Geese are known for being territorial creatures, something which one cameraman found out the hard way, when his drone was attacked mid-air.
And while the drone may have sustained some damage in the unexpected aerial attack, the footage makes for a hilarious video.
The drone had a run-in with an Egyptian goose, a species known in particular for engaging in aerial dogfights, particularly in breeding season.
They will even go so far as to kill the offspring of another goose so as to ensure the survival of their own nest.
Baring this in mind, it is probably not the best idea to fly over the nest of an Egyptian goose – as the controller of the drone discovered in Holland.
In the short clip, the drone captures picturesque images of Oudorperpolder, in the city of Alkmaar, as it circles an expanse of water.
A pair of windmills can be seen in the back of the shot as well as a number of people on bikes, cycling around the lake.
