I've always wondered if that was a realistic way of taking a drone down, it seems the risk to the birds from the spinning propellers would be substantial.

  Peregrine falcons hit their prey after a stoop (dive) of over 200MPH. They can handle it. Plus, you can train the birds to avoid the blades; these are apex predators for flight.

    Those propellers will cut you up pretty bad. Are eagle talons stronger than human flesh?

      Yes, considerably stronger. They are one of the most deadly tools in the animal kingdom in fact.

      The falcons hit their prey with their talons, at 200mph. Figure a Peregrine weighs 2-3lbs, that's a lot of force. Raptor talons are pretty tough.
