00:00This is an amazing story about birds.

00:04A real-life angry bird.

00:06The drone camera is shooting it.

00:09If the bird gets angry, you're done.

00:12In the whole of nature, birds look very elegant when they fly.

00:16This is a symbol of freedom.

00:18That's why many of our friends fly by taking pictures and videos.

00:25So what species of birds are commonly found in these areas?

00:30The Philippines used to be mostly forested.

00:33So a lot of the birds that are very specific for the Philippines are forest birds.

00:38And we see those here.

00:39For example, the hornbills, the malkoha, there's parrots, there's woodpeckers.

00:45There's all kinds of birds that occur here.

00:47But experts are not the only ones who love birdwatching.

00:50There are celebrities as well.

00:55Another trend aside from birdwatching is the use of drone cameras.

00:59This is the unmanned aerial vehicle that has a video camera attached to it.

01:04In the past, it was hard for birds to fly.

01:06They can approach the drone camera.

01:08But sometimes, there's a problem.

01:10According to the website of odubon.org,

01:12a group dedicated to bird protection,

01:15there are some bird territories that don't want to share their habitat.

01:19That's why they're defensive.

01:21That's the real Angry Bird.

01:23Their instinct is to release any intruder,

01:27whether it's a bird or a bird.

01:30According to the post of the New York-based drone and tech YouTuber,

01:33DroneXFacto,

01:35his drone has been surrounded by birds a few times.

01:39His signal was almost lost.

01:41Fortunately, the birds got tired and released him.

01:45This is the countryman of Spiška, Noves,

01:49in the heart of Slovakia,

01:51Pajatangasin.

01:52It's still early, that's why there's no one here.

01:54That's why the drone enthusiast and YouTuber, Moriarty,

01:58flew his drone.

02:00It looks like a church.

02:01He didn't know that he should pray for his drone.

02:05Suddenly, the Angry Birds appeared and shot his drone.

02:08There, it hit the snow.

02:10Let's not forget to pray for those who can fly.

02:14The birds were ahead of us.

02:16That's why I remind you that if you're going to fly a drone,

02:18avoid places where the birds pass regularly.

02:22It's a big issue for the environment,

02:24not just for the birds.
