We've seen the same phenomenon in multiple directions. Crows were usually near habitations, and we've seen a lot more deeper in the forest, and smaller birds that were hiding in the forest have been more adventurous and come to our balcony.
I don't know how good/bad of a thing it is, but surely there seems to be something going on.
For what it's worth, people also seem to have rediscovered the forest, and I hope will get more emotionally involved in its maintenance and preservation.
It might be something else, like temperature or wind making them move. Or maybe it's there food sources drying up. I can't say. I should ask knowledgeable people.
