1. 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;
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; and
determining an oiling efficiency based on the images of the egg target acquired by the camera of the RFAS, the images transmitted by the aerial vehicle to a ground monitor, and adjusting subsequent dispensing of oil responsive thereto.
