it's power that kills. you can make a death ray with light, vhf, whatever, given enough power, which decay geometrically. most of the dead birds are on antennas without cover, where the birds would perch up and get fried. thousands of dead birds every day on top of builds is the sole reason all microwave antennas have that white half-cone cover on them.
