wow, and that bird was quite a bit smaller than the drone. That's a heck of a thing (both the deliveries and the birds).

They must have a nest nearby. Can hear them making a racket trying to warn 'the bird'

Note the bird was smart enough to stay away from the rotors.

I used to fly a radio-controlled glider on this rural hillside and a few times a red tailed hawk would attack the plane. It would come down from behind, thinking the "bird" couldn't see him. But I could. So I was able to make evasive maneuvers. It knocked the plane out of the sky one time, anyway. Ripped a wing off. I didn't mind; that was always the most fun kind of flying.

That’s awesome.
Drone delivery of daily coffee - that is well worth disrupting.

I wonder if the coffee is still hot when it gets there.

Noisy drone. Isn't going to be simply delightful when the skies are full of these things delivering coffees, burgers, and other must haves.

Daily coffee delivered by drone, I can’t get over how lame that is. Expected better from Aussies. Maybe he needs to . . .

I hope drones are highly restricted if they ever get approved for mass delivery. Can you imagine the constant drone (really sorry), ok, noise, from a sky full of drones delivering ****ing coffee, alone? Instant dystopian hellscape.
