Today the Sapphire Princess cruise ship visited the port of Pago Pago, American Samoa. While I was filming the ship tying up, a gang of Atafa (Frigate Birds) came to check out the drone. A few of them got a little too close for comfort and started attacking it.

With a wing span of 7 feet, the Atafa often chase other birds to steal their catch. Old timey mariners used to call them robber birds. Glad they decided the drone didn't have a snack for them.
