Animals: Wild and Domestic
As it is with humans, wild and migratory creatures such as birds, insects, mammals, reptiles and amphibians are negatively influenced by RF and EMF fields. Social creatures that depend on communication to survive - bees, bats, whales . . . are likely to be profoundly susceptible to the radiofrequencies and electromagnetic fields that bombard them. This area of research is beginning to gain recognition in scientific circles.
Similarly, studies are underway to examine the effects of electromagnetic fields on domestic animals and birds. Pets and industrial farm animals are caught in the same web of microwave frequencies, and react in visible ways.

A towering problem for birds and bees
The Times of India
KOCHI: They don't use cell phones; yet they may be its worst victims. Next time you read a report on birds falling prey to radiation and consequently getting sick, you might as well guess that a cell phone tower could have caused it. It is not just humans but birds and bees too are beginning to feel the impact of 'electro-smog', the pollution from the electromagnetic fields (EMF).
Unlike most other known pollutants, electromagnetic radiation (EMR) is not readily perceivable to human sense organs and hence not easily detectable.
"There is no doubt that birds move out of their favourite areas when they sense undue pressure or get wrong signals from nature. It would be better if towers are not set up in places where birds congregate," V S Vijayan, ornithologist and former chairman of Kerala State Biodiversity Board, said.
He was commenting on the study released by the Ministry of Environment and Forests which found that EMR from mobile towers was interfering with the biological systems of birds.
