Birds of prey sometimes make mistakes. They think that a drone is a bird. They want to catch the bird, but they catch a drone.

This gives people ideas. They train birds of prey to take down drones. The Dutch police train the birds. They are successful.

However, there is a problem. Sometimes, the drone hurts the birds.

Difficult words: bird of prey (a big bird which catches and eats other animals; a hawk and an eagle, for example), successful (if you are successful in doing something, you do it well), hurt (to have problems with the body because of something).

You can watch the original video in the Level 3 section.
