Which risk to soaring birds is magnified around tall buildings?

💡 Explanation

Increased turbulence near tall buildings causes wind shear, creating unpredictable forces on a bird in flight, especially affecting boundary layer lift; therefore shear increases risk, rather than updraft reduction, because the bird's flight control struggles more in shear.
