Overheard a guy at the coffee shop say 5G towers cause bird deaths

He was dead serious, said he counted 12 dead sparrows near one. Made me wonder if there's any real data on that or just more panic.

Remember that correlation doesn't prove causation, and wind turbines actually kill far more birds than cell towers ever will.

Did you happen to catch any studies or articles about this? I feel like @uma_baker99 makes a good point about wind turbines actually causing way more harm. It's easy to blame new technology when we don't have clear data either way.
