    Now I want to see some art of a bird furry trying to land on one of these

    …The voltage in respect to another bird, just 5 meters away, swinging between -200000 V and +200000 V, 100 times per second, and you don’t even know it.

    Somebody told me this helps with getting ticks and other bugs off them. Any bird experts in the house to confirm that?

        Honest question: I know the birds aren’t grounded, but is there any kind of effect such as (feels stupid, but I’ll type it) a vibration? I would believe there are EM fluctuations within a close range, but ones that may effect a bird less than an insect?

        Writing it out helped me, I’ll leave it in case others are in a similar place. I have no qualms with learning why my first guess isn’t correct. My day to day is filled with too many folk that know their little corner of life. They tend to scoff at people (me, usually) who came to the field later in life without formal training.

        Creativity and original thought in new situations should never be looked down upon. We all have room for improvement.

          That’s what my buddy said, but I don’t know if anyone has actually studied it.
