must feed them on something diferent down under or mayby they hanging out to close to the local drugs enforcements smoke stack that burns the conficated drugs
I fly from a slope with 1.5 metre s400 craft and if I stop and lotter and stay fairly still 200 feet up for half an hour or so the crows will
come out and peck at the tail featers taking turns at it
I can gradualy can get them to enter a steep dive and climbs with them following and they do realy try to follow as I sudenly pull into a loop for a change
but after a steep angle they break off and get the skids on as they realize I am getting behind them and scatter
been like that for years now several flight to get thing lined up and then pow they go to ground fly real low for weeks until they get the bottle to go peck again
interesting specs on the UAV

In aussie it nomally the magpie that attack things posties on bikes are the favorite target but they can attack young kids and dogs and inflict injuries
might need to make a ausie bird atack proof version for aussie with self defence pop guns and water pistols to shoo of the pesky blighters
Hitchcock the BIRDS version two down under
or mayby get a beating from down under UAV that already crossed the pond Newfoundland Canada to Scotland UK
