I hear if you fly at -1 feet sea level that seagulls won't attack it

I fly 90% of my flights around birds of all sorts and have yet to have a bird come after the drone...they want no part of it...

Same here, some breeds seem to come close to see what this funny flying stool is but then either they decide it isnt edible, isnt a known predator, or is it the buzz of the props that keeps them away - might sound like angry bee or hornets? - then again we don't get too many eagles where I usually fly - that might be a different result!

I was following the Lochness monster down the river when 5 migs passed over me when I was spotted a few hundred ft below them. While my attention was focused forward on the 3 other migs you can clearly see the one 1 mig circle all the way around and than drop down in front of me for a surgical...

Would this video answer the question ?

We are poor amateurs when it comes to flight ...

I have many flights in / over and under birds with my P3 and other models ... the only one that ever caused a bird to take notice and approach ... was my Eagle .... unfortunately video could not catch the incident ... but the bird flew off after checking ..

I’ve almost hit them at 400’ , it all depends on the wind if they’re copping a free ride on the gust they just go with it ....

Ravens/crows like a good swoon/dive. But they know they'd be in for a crew cut and don't get too close. But a raven/crow against a eagle..... (Paradox)....
