Regular manned aircraft have big issues with birds. That would imply then that birds don't always have the ability to avoid planes either, let alone a small drone. They are definitely doing studies about this issue and have found that lights (more than sound) alert birds and have proven to help prevent bird collisions. Many manned aircraft are now being equipped with flashing and other types of lights. Because of this, I just purchased a set of snap on lights for the P3A/P that either flash or remain on for a great alert system. See these links: FARNBOROUGH: Lighting on aircraft can prevent bird strikes
Polar Pro LED Lights for P3 - Thoughts ....
Also, if you lose your drone, the lights may help you find it too, at least as long as the battery doesn't wear down. FYI, PolarPro lights battery is separate from the drone. Enjoy your flights.
[EDIT] Not sure if these will fit the P4. I thought I was on the P3 discussion. Got excited when I saw the birds video.
