Aren't birds sensitive to magnetism because they navigate with the earth's magnetic field?  Or is that a myth?  Maybe something about this fuse holder causes a navigational issue for the birdies.

On Saturday we had a power outage.  Beautiful day. Towers on batteries, but after an hour we head up there with a generator.  Plug it in and we're good to go.  Outage was caused by a bird on the pole and the fuse popped.

Power company comes by, puts up a new fuse.  Power is back.  He gets in the truck and drives down the lane, about 50 feet, and *POP*.  Another bird and fuse.  Replaces another. Good for a few more hours.

Then this morning - power outage AGAIN.  A third "bird" on the ground below the fuse.

Obviously something's going on, being it's been three times in three days when this has never happened since ~2008.  Maybe someone put peanut oil and the rodents are trading services?
