    I've been constantly putting out feed for the last 2 years. Loads of birds feeding on them constantly . But for the last 2 weeks they haven't been touched . I haven't changed the type feed or anything . Is there a reason for it

    Has 5G been rolled out in your area?

    A majority of the speakers at the hearing opposed the impending installation, with many suggesting that the radio-frequency energy that the devices emit is harmful. Burbank residents aired similar concerns during a town hall meeting in February.

    Where the devices are installed, “birds are dying and bees are dying,” Irena Varjabedian said during the hearing.

    5G is well known to be terrible for birds.

    But if he only had 4G would thay mean that he would only have 20% of the birds that he would have had if G's were never invented?

    Maybe the birds can't get a signal because only 3G is available in the area and they've gone somewhere better.

    5g is a completely different technology to 4g.



    In case you didn't know, 5g has been banned in Brussels. I wonder why.

    They may have found a rich food source nearby which only became available 2 weeks ago.

    Pretty dumb on their behalf but back on topic for the op, with the mild autumn there is probably an abundance of natural food available to the birds at the moment.

    people often get upset about mobile phone masts, and living say 500m from them.
    they usually seem less concerned about mobile phone use. which do you think exposes you to more radiation; the large transmitter 500m away, or the small one you hold against the side of your head (bearing in mind that the radiation drops off with the square of the distance)?

    When we're finished with the nonsense....


    This time of year sees many garden birds feeding On 'natural' food nearby. This year has a bumper seed and fruit crop and an abundance of insect life at the moment.

    Are you in an urban, suburban, or rural setting?

    OP - this is the answer. Things might be relatively quiet for a few weeks but by mid-November or thereabouts things will be back to 'normal'.

    Mod Note: Closing this thread as it's become seriously derailed. OP if you want it re-opened let me know via PM.
