The rise in drone popularity over the past few years has been meteoric — and in our typical human arrogance, we’ve once again ignored the fact that for the past 150 million years, the sky has belonged to the birds.

Anything posing a risk to their nests or young will be met by swift action with parent birds dive-bombing any potential threat and raising such a noise as to make the predator choose an easier option.

Australia is a vast country with a very small human population, which mostly clings to the edge of the continent. Some birds existed only on outlying islands and in small populations, so once humans arrived then there would have been a huge risk to their survival. Handbook to The Birds of Australia, 1865.
