Not sure about the US, but in Canada, it is illegal to point any type of laser skyward so that would not be a practical solution north of the border! The risk to commercial aircraft is the consideration. There have been people prosecuted for doing so here.

Bird barrier they sell high-quality high power Green Lasers
I know they work because I use them daily to remove yeast from airports. I have not seen any permanent damage done to any Wildlife but I don't sit there and Shine the laser in its eyes we try and strike the bird with the Lazer from at least a hundred yards away

Yeast?

I've heard that amature astronomers use them to point out the constellation for other people around them to see and better align their telescopes to enjoy the heavens above .

Almost had mine taken away by hawk first time I tested the Spark.

I thought about putting a big decal of a hawk on the top of the spark. (if I could find one) I don't know if this would work or make things worse.

Try to go up when a bird approaches, its opposite of what prey would do. They dont expect that and get the hel away from it. My experience at least.

 

[lasorey]

If a bird comes or attacks your copter, go higher not lower.
The bird on top is the boss.

Exactly, thats at least how my parrots behave.

Had some geese cross my path today, a little formation flying!

Some a$$hole crow tried to mess with my Spark earlier today. They seem to be quite prominent since they don't have any natural predators in the area. I just switched to sport mode and took off. My shotgun would have come in handy.

Birds don't show the same 'respect' for the Spark as they usually do for the Phantom and upwards. Even the Mavic usually suffers the same to a certain degree. Size, noise and shape are the main cause. [emoji6]

That's a nice shot vekthor, a Martin of some kind I think, what a flier.

 

[Spark 317]

When flying with the prop guards on, the Spark looks bigger and more intimidating.

You bet. It was 'checking out' the Spark at really close range. [emoji1]

Just trying to capture a little fall footagethe other morning at a local lake. It didn't look like the geese were that close when I was flying, but when reviewing the video --- well you be the judge.
