Saw this article about eagles being trained by the police in Holland to deal with drones - "watch out, watch out theres an eagle about"

Not sure if the eagles are being fitted with blue flashing lights LOL LOL

I saw this too.I do some work with hawks and I worry they may damage their feet grabbing the drones if they grab the blades.

That was a concern of mine as well. I know some of these drones are a lot more powerful than the "home" version they show in the film.
