Our area lost power for a while last night. Turns out it was birds. Weird.
ETA: Oh, and I also want to say that people have no freakin’ clue how to drive when the power is out. When stoplight intersections have no power, people barrel right through. We had to drive out of the neighborhood to find food, and it was a white-knuckle experience getting through the intersections. Idiots.
Birds took out our power.
There’s some interesting information here regarding bird behavior.

People are like that here too, and our neighborhood looses power if a skunk sprays in the wrong place at the wrong time.
Maybe the trolls who stole your bird feeders were trying to prevent this sort of incident. 😉
