This is BS.
Birds are chopped up in the thousands 24 hrs a day.
And protected birds are chopped up indiscriminately.
.
“Windmills are killing all the birds.....”
“..... every last one of them.”
birds also crash into buildings
And protected birds are chopped up indiscriminately.
The turbine blades are not really the culprit here. It is all those cats glued to the turbine blades that catch the birds and then kill them.
Funny how they never mention that the successful, even too successful return of raptors since DDT was banned and the raptors were protected by tighter legal protections means that all these hawks that now hang out at birdfeeders waiting for feathered snacks to be lured in have been eating more songbirds than in the 70s when such hawks were scarce.
