Amazon drones may be disrupting Treasure Valley wildlife, biology professor says

An assistant professor of biology at Northwest Nazarene University says frequent Amazon Prime Air drone flights near the company’s Nampa hub could disturb wildlife during migration season. Residents have reported persistent drone noise, and one neighbor said chickens hid when aircraft passed. Professor David Hille said birds may perceive drones as threats, causing them to flee feeding areas and expend energy, Idaho News 6 reports.
