In a recent study , a team of French researchers set out to test whether a drone’s color, speed, and angle of approach affected different groups of birds. It’s quite possible that further research into the internal stress indicators of birds may reveal similar findings. So far, there aren’t any reports of bird deaths caused by drones.
