Birds Are Dropping from the Sky and Studies Confirm Wireless Radiation Harms Birds. Could There Be a Connection?

By B.N. Frank

Throughout the U.S., birds are dropping from the sky. Although no specific cause has been agreed upon yet, research has determined that wireless radiation affects wildlife (including birds) and NOT in a good way.

Research Studies on Impacts to the Environment from Wireless: Trees, Plants, Pollinators, Birds and Wildlife

FCC  and ICNIRP limits were not developed to protect our flora or fauna. Wireless radiation “safety” limits for trees, plants, birds and bees simply do not exist. No US agency nor international authority with expertise in science, biology or safety has ever acted to review research and set safety limits for birds, bees, trees and wildlife.

The European Scientific Committee on Health, Environmental and Emerging Risks states “The lack of clear evidence to inform the development of exposure guidelines to 5G technology leaves open the possibility of unintended biological consequences.”

Several literature reviews warn that non-ionizing EMFs are an “emerging threat” to wildlife (Balmori 2015, Curachi 2013, Sivani 2012).

The US Department of Interior wrote a letter in  2014 detailing several published studies showing impacts of wireless radiofrequency radiation (RFR)  to birds stated that, “There is a growing level of anecdotal evidence linking effects of non-thermal, non-ionizing electromagnetic radiation from communication towers on nesting and roosting wild birds and other wildlife…. And  “However, the electromagnetic radiation standards used by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) continue to be based on thermal heating, a criterion now nearly 30 years out of date and inapplicable today.”

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is supposed to protect Americans by regulating the telecom industry. Unfortunately, they tend to cater to the industry instead. This has increased dramatically since Trump took office (see 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11). Lawsuits have been filed against them for NOT protecting the public from unsafe levels of radiation as well as 5G on Earth (see 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6) and in space.

High-speed internet CAN be obtained without 5G and even without wireless connections. According to FCC Chairman Ajit Pai – and a LAWSUIT filed against the regulatory agency – telecom companies have already been paid to provide high-speed internet access to ALL Americans. Telecom companies only want to provide 5G and WiFi because it’s cheaper for them. WiFi isn’t safe for multiple reasons (see 1, 2). Neither is 5G. In fact, cities and countries worldwide already have taken action to stop 5G deployment.

American 5G opposition includes more than biological and environmental risks (see 1. 2, 3). Federal agencies and other experts have warned it could also threaten national security, public safety, and weather forecasting accuracy (see 1, 2, 3).

Bummer for the birds and the rest of us…
