In the U.S., recent annual estimates of bird deaths due to:

Cats = 2.4 billion bird deaths

Collisions from building glass = 600 million bird deaths

Land wind turbines = <200,000 bird deaths

Some politicians claim wind turbines “kill all the birds.”

But… they’re not really worried about birds. Rather, they prefer we stick with oil & gas over renewable #energy.

@Sheril ok, this is going to sound cruel at first, but hear me out, Cat Turbines!
I’m not clear on the details, but if there is any relationship between the amount of energy produced, and the number of birds killed, a little cat discomfort seems a small price to pay for massive increase in power output… 🤔
Do we attach them to the propeller or the hub? 😇
