Description:

Seventeen birds among twelve flocks were exposed to four combinations of different microwave density and duration along with three sham control birds from two additional flocks. Although the irradiated birds maintained their positions in the hierarchies with one exception, some appeared to have a change in their level of aggression after exposure of 25 mW/cm2. These changes, however, are not considered inconsistent with survival of birds at an Solar Power Satellite System rectenna site.
