A gentle holiday moment for  you. I think this was my most enjoyable 2 minutes of flying ever. I  honestly believe these cockatoos were happy for me to join their flock  for a while. Select to view in 4K is best.

Wow, beautiful footage!

Thanks Montfrooij, was good fun up there though!

Nicely and bravely done. They seem to have a great collision avoidance system...

Yes, as I've always said... if they can avoid each other they can sure avoid me!

Great video! I do not afraid afraid the birds but my drone yes.. Its been attacked once by an eagle and it took a lot of session with a psychologist to be able to fly again

I know what you mean, we have eagles and buzzards here but most other birds are fine.

Amazing to see. They certainly cleared a path for you

Sorry,  you are right,   Im not watching.   Having enough issues with my own birds lately.      Im sure it lovely though,  all your videos are.

Remarkable footage.    The cockatoos definitely didn't seem to mind the Mini 2 joining them for a little fun flight together.

Oops, my bad.  I guess I should have looked under your Avatar.  Wait, NO. that shows Mavic Pro Platinum.  Anyway the cockatoos didn't seem to mind.

yes, weird, as I have never owned a platinum and I have no idea how it got attached to my name

That really is quite strange.  Oh well, things do happen.  Maybe DJI owes you a Mavic Pro Platinum.  

Chris' that's an awesome video!, Reminded me Alfred Hitchcock's 1963 movie "The Birds" and very gutsy flying too. Thanks for sharing

thanks Cacike

Alfred Hitchcock eat your heart out

Totally agree

Wouldn't that be nice.  

Season's greetings.  

Wow - what an astonishing video. Well done and a big compliment that you kept flying so smoothly with all the birds around you. So amazing to see and really unique. As I said: just WOW
