Fuck them birds. Now study the effects of fossil fuel and compare the two.
I don’t have a link but I believe this has absolutely been studied and it’s the same as what OP says above but specifically about fossil fuels. The amount of birds that die to wind turbines is significantly less than the amount of birds that die to the fossil fuel industry.
