Yes, I believe that non-ionising radiation causes the most damage to parts of the body where there are few blood vessels, since this means that the tissue is not good at dissapating the heat caused by RF (can medical types confirm/correct here?). The most vulnerable parts are the eyes and testes.

Prolonged RF exposure can lead to cataracts and can make an effective birth-control method...

Like I said originally, I highly doubt that radar scares the birds away. Thanks Canuckbirdstrike and Greybeard for your informative posts.
