    Where is the 'dislike' icon????

    OTOH, that possible interpretation did come first from a Southerner....

    You're a Southerner MD. Yes I know you were born in N but if it was not done previously, I hereby bestow Southern status to you. No one else would consider a sheep hot, unless looking at a bald one through a thermal!

    I suspect this discussion is degenerating.

    Kiwi body temp is 37-38 degC, 1-3 degC lower that most birds. They over heat very quickly if enclosed in a small space, as we learned very early on during the first kiwi recovery program in Northland in the late 70’s.

    knock em over but the replacements don't take long to find a new home. More and more are showing up in the district all the time.

    Alpaca at 200,a rabbit a bit further and cattle at 2km. I like the hot black mode.

    Here is a cool video by Ferntech - a company that sells drones here in NZ. It's about pest control - in this case wallabies - using a drone with thermal capabilities. https://youtu.be/arGXo445Ezg

    Bloody hell that's a seriously expensive setup. The matrice drone without cameras is about $50K alone.
