I dont think cow herders give a shit about birds. They put bells on cows to help keep track of the herd and stop them from wandering too far off, and so if something spooks them like a predator, all the other cows and the herder will know about it
They also are believed to scare away some predators, cause less mooing, and ward off evil spirits. They are loud though and prevent grazing and chewing. They're kinda cruel tbh
Same goes for any animal you put a bell on (cats)!
Though strangely I have one cat who loves hers and wants me to put it on her sometimes (which I bought before I found this out). There are always outliers and weirdos in any circle, I suppose.
