Another example of such an attack

CW: animals being eatenimage

that's not a man-in-the-middle attack (unless the bird is a trained falcon or something), it's packet loss due to infrastructure damage

Valid. I checked again, and:

Known risks to the protocol include:

  • Carriers being attacked by birds of prey. RFC2549: "Unintentional encapsulation in hawks has been known to occur, with decapsulation being messy and the packets mangled."

So I guess that's what's happening here
