Not necessarily. Unless you live somewhere with a thriving wild bird population – like Canberra – you wouldn't understand the impact that these things might have on birds. I live on the outskirts of the centre of Canberra (which, as a reminder, is the capital of Australia). The trees are teeming with birds this time of year. We have a family of Australian magpies raising their young in the tree directly opposite us. It's magnificent to watch. They'll often come and say hello and we're hoping they'll introduce the young to us one day. Regular drone traffic would be an enormous disruption. Magpies swoop anything they see to be a threat. I already see how much effort it is to forage and feed 3 young. Spending extra time trying to ward off a drone because someone can't be arsed going for a walk and getting a coffee (or whatever) ... ridiculous. I haven't seen a drone here but if they start to become a thing I'll join whatever movement is advocating for their banning.
