I've accidentally fried small birds at ~1KW around 100MHz. It all depends on where they sit and how the power is radiated. Near the end on a Yagi is not a good spot.
I made a point of swishing the rotor side-to-side a couple of degrees after I figured out where the dead sparrows came from. That caused them to fly off and once the transmitter was on they'd stay away from the antenna.
