Claim 11:
12. A conservation method, comprising:
oiling bird eggs by a remote fluid application system (RFAS) to control avian pest species population, the RFAS coupled to an aerial vehicle, including:
loading an oil reservoir of the RFAS with oil and pressurized air;
operating an RFAS camera coupled in the RFAS;
flying the aerial vehicle to a position near an egg target, the aerial vehicle having a drone camera distinct from the RFAS camera;
remotely operating a gimbal motor of the RFAS to adjust a position of a nozzle and the RFAS camera of the RFAS to the egg target;
determining, based on images from the RFAS camera of the egg target, whether and to what extent the egg target is to be sprayed with oil; and
dispensing oil on the egg target by fluidly coupling the oil reservoir to the nozzle, the dispensing based on the images from the RFAS camera of the egg target, wherein oiling bird eggs includes oiling raven eggs of ravens preying on desert tortoises by the RFAS to control raven population, and the flying includes flying the aerial vehicle to the position near the egg target, the egg target being a nest with raven eggs of the ravens preying on desert tortoises.
