So, if your asshat neighbor is flying their drone over your house filming your wife, you just need to get yourself a pet eagle.
I wonder if anyone sees this as a business plan...rent-an-eagle....perfect for protecting private outdoor orgies, or whatever else you don't want filmed.

Well... There are falconers!

I feel sorry for the eagle - it probably suffered a few cuts on its feet, maybe even a broken bone or two. I hope not, however.

I doubt it. Drone propellers are pretty wimpy on purpose and eagles drop flying thrust kicks on other (heavier than drones) animals all the time.

It totally fucked that shit up though.

When Aminals Silence The Drones - CNN has been added as a related post - related requested by mintbbb on that post.

We can't tell what kind of drone it is, nor its size. The broken prop in the frame at the end is cracked like it's carbon fibre, not GFRP or straight plastic. Have you ever been struck by a drone prop? I have. It hurts. I had stitches. I still have scars.

The eagle was fine. It was a female protecting it's nest.
