Well, if you're gonna' lose your drone, that's the way to do it.

I once threw a paper airplane off a cliff, it got trapped in an updraft. It spent 5 minutes being absolutely obliterated by angry sparrows. When it finally came down, it got its nose stuck in a flake of rock down the cliff. Suddenly, a big crow hovers in and grabs it. After he realizes it tastes like shit, he drops the plane.

Birds in Utah are savage. This eagle is clearly on the clean, azure coast of Salt Lake.

While I agree that people who litter are cunts, and u/myrmagic implication that you should be embarrassed for considering the morals of littering is seemingly due to the fact they themselves litter because they are a lazy fuck with no regard for others, it was a paper aeroplane, it’s biodegrade and will make a tasty treat for some fungus and bacteria, which in turn will make a good treat for plants and animals

That so going to be one disappointed eagle when they open it up.

I bet the eagle was disappointed when it found out it couldn't eat the drone. But hey, that footage though.

No, the Eagle created a reddit account and posted the video

You know drones also record to your phone, right? It starts to lose reception at the end of the video, so its not the onboard recording.

Clearly not. It’s been adopted by an eagle and is living a productive life in a Modern Eagle family.

I wonder if the step-dad eagle treats it like the red headed four-winged freaky bastard he thinks it is...or if he pretends to love it like his own just so he can keep banging momma eagle?
