Gary,
          Why are you shooting microwaves at birds? Tell you what though, 
perhaps as an experiment you should see what the bird went through, so I 
have a nice working 9 kilowatt magnatron in the exact same frequency band 
and with the proper transformer (industrial strength, 3 phase, not a simple 
consumer unit).You can even choose, my tree or your tree, as long as you 
have the 3 phase I do. Not too likely you are going to ionize a path for the 
TC to follow though.
