> It's not that birds are never killed by wind turbines, it's that this is scrutiny only applied to wind turbines by the fake-environmentalists when they'll hap

  I fully stand by the statement that it's basically only fake environmentalists who care. Yes, some real environmentalists do too, but seriously: the wholesale destruction of the entire biosphere due to the rampant use of fossil fuels, the destruction of entire ecosystems like the Amazon rainforest, and some people only focus on how we shouldn't build wind farms because of the birds. Colour me cynical about most people who bring up wind farms and birds. Again, I know of projects where that entire angle was just a political one used to cancel wind projects in favour of staying reliant on coal. I liked that parrot too; it's probably doomed anyway due to the fact that destruction of native forests is rampant. How will the raptors do in global warming?

    > How will the raptors do in global warming? Raptors will probably go extinct first because nutty activists imagine criticism of misguided environmental priorities may be safely ignored because of who brought it up...thus committing a tragic error. My personal feeling is giant HAWT technology should be banned due to the potential for environmental damage.

  Numbers, people. How many are actually killed by wind turbines, versus loss of habitat, deliberate poisoning, hunters, etc? The big threats to smaller birds are glass buildings and domestic cats, but they don't get as much discourse.
