Local aviators and experimental aircraft pilots have been asked to avoid low level flights over Lake Apopka, which can cause the birds to disperse into the danger zone.
There was a bit of an issue since the pilots that owned the aircraft were white and the pilots they were portraying were black.
Not the wisest way to fly, according to the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association.

An airline security task force, made up of representatives from airlines, aircraft makers, pilots and flight attendants unions, recommended the cockpit door reinforcements.
The witnesses represented King Schools, an aviation-training company, and businesses affiliated with the National Air Transportation Association and the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association (AOPA).
FORBES: House Commitee Chairman Says A New Aviation User Fee Is Asking Too Much
The Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association, representing general aviation pilots, said the Chicago no-fly zone did not pose a significant inconvenience on planes or private-use airports.
An airline security task force, composed of representatives from airlines, aircraft makers, pilots and flight attendants unions, has made several recommendations to the FAA to make flying safer.
With the aid of visual and aural warnings, these safety enhancements use software, cockpit displays and related devices already installed on aircraft to alert pilots about potential mistakes.
Chris Dancy, a spokesman for the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association, says another problem with proposal is that it actually diminishes the amount of federal oversight on FAA revenues.
To Dr Warren's surprise, the device was at first rejected by aviation authorities as having "little immediate direct use in civil aircraft" while pilots described it as a "Big Brother" spying on their actions.
Right behind were pilots and aircraft engineers, with a rate of 88 per 100, 000 employees.
The Rad Lab had been developing a radar device for fighter aircraft that would allow pilots to identify distant German bombers, and was hiring hundreds of scientists every few months.
The company's review included an analysis of maintenance records of all its aircraft and crew, including pilots.
By enabling the pilot to keep his eyes focused outside the aircraft, a HUD provides pilots with an incredible safety advantage.

While the aircraft will have two safety pilots on board, the flights will be operated by on-board systems supervised by a ground-based observer pilot.
Most airliners have autopilots which use sophisticated computer software to help pilots control the aircraft, used often during long periods of flying at the same altitude on long-haul flights.
AirAsia, which will operate Airbus A320 aircraft in India, can employ many of these pilots with little retraining needed as they operated the same aircraft type while at Kingfisher.
With Iranian pilots at the controls, it is doubtful that these aircraft would be a match for US and Israeli combat pilots, but they could certainly present problems--a real threat--to just about every other country in the Middle East.
CENTERFORSECURITYPOLICY: Reports: Iran to buy jets from Russia
India has been looking to buy an advanced jet trainer aircraft to help train its fighter pilots.
These include a requirement for pilots of even light aircraft and helicopters to file flight plans, giving precise timings.
On July 13th, Spain's Iberia resumed services after grounding its entire fleet of aircraft when its pay dispute with pilots escalated.
The F-35 has already seen plenty of field time in the US, with more than 500 flights already in 2012, and it's set to make its way to the UK armed forces next week and the Netherlands later this year, but while the aircraft is quite familiar to the pilots tasked with flying it, the public hasn't had an opportunity to experience Lockheed's latest airborne warrior.

Pilots routinely practice stalling an aircraft so they know how to recover from a stall.

Investigators were also interviewing passengers from earlier flights as well as pilots who previously flew the aircraft.
Colombian rebels hijacked two tourist helicopters in Panama , released the passengers and pilots and fled with the aircraft across the border.
Controllers, standing on the side of the deck, observe incoming aircraft with less-than-seasoned pilots and must quickly decide whether a plane should be allowed to land or be waved off.
Controllers generally guide planes on runways and active taxiways, but it would be unusual for them to discuss aircraft that are in parking areas with pilots who are taxiing past them.
But, perhaps more importantly, pilots routinely practice stalling an aircraft so they know what the onset of a stall feels like and how to take corrective action before actually entering a stall.

Even a cursory assessment of the hurdles unmanned aircraft must overcome before they can displace human pilots from the performance of most military missions suggests the technology has been oversold.
Now with his third wife, he is a fitness fanatic, with a penchant for cross-country skiing and also pilots gliders, helicopters, light aircraft and larger jets, including the Boeing 747.
