Bird strikes are always a potential hazard wherever we fly. Most gardener's know the trick of keeping birds away by tying a piece of string to a rock and an old CD/DVD, and tossing them up into the tree limbs surrounding their garden.
I live in a heavily treed area, w/a passel of hawks. They would menace my drones on almost all flights, and I would have to take evasive action. Then I decided to try the reflective cd/dvd trick by putting reflective adhesive strips on my drones (see photo). Now I see the hawks get close, then peel off ;-)
These reflective strips provide a secondary purpose of making your drone more visible in the event of a unplanned landing.......somewhere.
