Watch out freaking seagulls, here comes Super Mini Crow, with its 3 foot wingspan

Still light enough for not triggering the automatic payload mode :-)
The crow plastic head comes from plastic crow models to hang on boat masts to prevent birds from pooing there.

I will try a another attachment version as the present one is a pain to 3d print, this time with a single rod, and try to find some 3d crow head design  :-)

Red led flash lights in the eyes would be kind of interesting  :-)

Amazing... well, provided there's no wind... and I mean absolutely nought, nil, ZERO.
If I were a bird I'd be scared to death of a flying contraption like that.

:-) :-)  I am fully aware that I look like a total freek with my crow toy,  but then should I succeed, I'd be the only realtor out of 62 companies out here to be able to shoot from a drone, otherwise it is just impossible right now.
Even the police's drones have to do some emergency landing after only one minute or less, or keep on flying  very high above. It makes the police pilots look quite bad to be forced down by the seagulls...
The strangest thing is that I do not remember having seen drone pilots terrorized by seagulls at the time when they were using a Phantom.

So either the seagulls are becoming more aggressive than years ago ( the Hitchcock way ) , or the modern shape of those new DJI drones means "danger" to them for some reason.
Now that I am thinking about it, it would be interesting to fly along with the Phantom drone, and see who is attacked first.
