Dutch police train eagles to take down illegal drones

The Dutch National Police are training eagles to keep illegal drones out of the sky.

The birds train for at least a year to track and capture drones.

And with flight speeds up to 80 miles per hour drones can't escape the eagles' talons.

Dutch researchers are still looking into the impact drone propellers may have on the eagle's claws.

The trainers say the eagle's naturally protected claws allow them to safely grab any consumer drone.
