Mitigation of bird attacks

Hi, I’ve had a few occasions when a bird (Seagull) take a liking to my Mini 4 pro. I have read that reflective stickers can help prevent this. I see a lot of full skins ( not for me),
but not just a few stickers. Any suggestions?

Hi Viper74 Welcome to Drone Hub :wave:
I have a DJI mini 4 pro i currently use a red reflective tap which i purchased on amazon i have heard red does deter guls from bird stikes.

I would recommend that you don’t put to much tap on your drone as this could push it over the 250g limit. Take extra care when flying near nesting guls as they will be prone to attack your drone i hope this helps. Regards Roger

Rapid climbing will mess with the birds they cannot elevate as quickly as a drone & when they catch up with you rapidly decend & accend again !
