Those are probably not the same birds.

  Odds are excellent that any bird killed by a cat also won't be killed by a wind turbine. Less facetiously, it's interesting that the turbine birds are somehow more valuable or special. I would imagine that would be easy to prove, and I would expect to see a lot of "America-hating wind turbines murder 100,000 Bald Eagles a year" but for some reason I never see that.

    I think this is a combination of kind-hearted, but contextually unaware, people shocked that wind turbines can kill birds, and bad-faith attempts to stigmatise wind turbines for disingeneous (or at least biased) reasons. Others have pointed out that there probably is a difference in the kinds of birds killed by cats vs wind turbines, but I've not seen any report breaking down the deaths by species (not that I've looked).

  You can kill a bird only once (unlike a cat).
