the cicadas around here were so loud and dense this year, they chased the birds away.. i had a huge population of song birds all spring and summer in my garden.. then the cicadas spawned and took over the trees and all the airwaves.. the birds just fucked off to i don't know where, and i'm sure it's just because they couldn't hear themselves over the immense buzzing..
Get a cat, it takes care if the cicadas, although the birds might not be happy either
I would've assumed them to view it as an open air buffet. Interesting that they would rather flee
