After years of flying drones, I had my first bird strike here in Brazil.  I was at a park and a group of parrots didn't like my Mavic.  Afterward, I tried to fly above or below the airspace the parrots claimed

Funny. Anything broke? Have you got video of the incident?

The internet here is unpredictable.   I swear I added the link to the video.

There was no damage.  i heard the strike and the video shows a wobble and then the bird and the drone both continued flying.

Your very welcome Sam

Nice video, hope the drone is okay

I think you hit the parrot,  the poor parrot was just chilling out when you flew right into him.  

Bird definitely flew right into your drone.  Glad that neither were seriously hurt.  

Enjoyed the "double rainbow".  

Hello there John. Good day and thank you for posting this video you have filmed. Just a reminder that birds are part of our environment and I'm sure they're not familiar to the drones that is why they might react aggressively when they notice it. Thank you and please fly safe always.

That is bad to hear!
