Eagles are waging war against drones, knocking them out of the sky
While we all look forward to the prospect of pizza being delivered by drones, not everyone is loving the flying gadgets. Surveyor Rick Steven, has had to contend with some angsty local eagles while flying his unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) at the St Ives mine, located in Western Australia's Goldfields region. In short, they're destroying them, and it's forcing Steven to get inventive. The UAVs have assisted Steven in creating 3D models of mined areas, as well as helping workers avoid extreme weather conditions on surveys. But the pesky eagles have been taking down their drone-y mortal enemies, because they're seen as a threat.
