Killing all the mosquitoes would be catastrophic for bird populations. Especially when you consider that not all mosquitoes transmit diseases to humans.
it really wouldn't. they don't have any biomass to provide nutrition with: it's the reason they feed on blood. managing mosquito populations would increase the health (and biomass) of their blood hosts and lead to healthier wildlife populations
