Any drone owners in here

It is too windy around here for any small unregistered drones.

That's good to know. Wind no good for Drones. Don't want jerky video.

I never thought about drones.
For my daughter's wedding, can a drone be flown above and videotape the ceremony for like 30 minutes.
Otherwise, I was planning to go up near the roof and leave a video camera up there to record the event.

There are special requirements for flying over crowds of people.

I rolled up on a farm to see a dozen eagles in the field one afternoon. Nope... not putting it in the air today.

Watched a bald eagle drop on a tourists drone trying to get foliage shots. It must've realized it wasn't food when it got close and veered off. Guy was rightly panicked. How fast that bird was moving was quite impressive.

Bought some reflective tape to put on mine that is supposed to help avoid bird attacks. After seeing that I definitely need to put it on

Not a bad idea.

A drone will definitely lose a fight with any raptor, but it isn't going to do the bird much good either. Anything you can do to prevent those encounters is a smart move.
