UAV? Use Birds or ODS - Organic Delivery System. In Harry Potters Books there is a witch delivery messenger service, which witches use and it is the birds. UAVs maybe going to the birds? Birds especially birds of prey can be used to haul delivery systems that the UAVs might use. Birds of prey do not flock, but can carry up to 11 lbs. depending on size. Large vulture birds carry many pounds. A large bird such as a Condor can carry extremely heavy loads. An owl for night UAV or ODS missions would work well and can carry off any 7 Lb. rodent, varmint or critter. And we know they can release it since that is how they make sure their prey is killed and broken open to eat, it saves time to work this way.

Electrodes could be stuck to the bird and as long as it flies a certain direction it does not get shocked. And a sensor for height keeps it from picking up an extra meal along the way as was the problems with training falcons. A fresh piece of meat was easier, but once the falcon was free and found a piece of meat it did not need to come back for one, so it would keep going.

Migratory birds, which cross a certain country which maybe a foe or enemy are already going in such a direction and simply need a cargo load. A small trap could be used such as seed or food or grain in an area and the birds could be put to sleep and a harness carrying the pay load attached. By use of an organic decomposing strap.

So once the birds delivered the payloads, many birds carrying little amounts of weight they could simply continue their direction of travel. We know from using dolphins that they can be trained to put mines and attach them to ships and Naval research learned that organic weapons in a symbiotic relationship, Trade for Food, deal that they can be very reliable.

We train Bees fairly easy, as long as they get what they want, they are there to serve, sounds like a Win-Win to me.

Even dogs and other animals can be trained to do tricks, for a doggy biscuit. Actually those biscuits are quite good, just kidding, but when you are on a budget they sure hit the spot.
