They could figure out those beams are actually harmless to them, if they are. If they are powerful enough to cause damage to their eyes they'll probaby learn to avoid them, but if not they'll get used to it.

I'm not sure how power dense the actual beams are though. I have only seen a few images of the equipment used, at they look like a DPSS with a decent beam expander behind them, possibly to the point where the beam is so fat it actually is eye-safe for humans - and i presume for birds too.

If this is the case i assume the birds will figure out that this hole disco show poses no harm to them and ignore it. They figured out that sitting on high voltage power lines is not dangerous to them unless getting too close to the towers. Perhaps the best chance is waiting for them to figure out that getting sucked through a jet engine is deadly and they'll just avoid airports ;)

I think once a bird figures this out, the experience learned is useless anyway. :D Still, some birds are quite smart - look at parrots and ravens for example. I loved observing wild ravens in London how they were able to solve many problems creatively. However some birds (pigeons for example) are not that smart at all.

BTW Also you might check Mythbusters and their chicken gun episode. Yes, it is how it sounds. :crackup:

Lasers on airport ! Since it is hot and we are in June, it's better to put them in a freezer before using them He also has the right to be cool cool! :D
