Every year, more than 3 million birds get killed from wind turbines all around the world.
A study by Wallace P. Erickson, of Western EcoSystems Technology, Inc., using information from Wisconsin, USA, found the following results:
Percentage of annual birds killed, by source:
- Collision with Wind Turbines: 0.1 - 0.2%
- Collision with Communication towers: 2.5%
- Pesticides: 7%
- Vehicles: 7%
- Collision and electrocution with high tension wires: 8%
- Cats: 10%
- Collision with buildings and windows: 55%
- Other: 10%

on average the avergae bird gets averagly killed averagely every 2 seconds.
so doing math at a 13th grade level i would know that around 1 trillion birds are killed each year by wind turbines. furthermore the parrot is the most susceptible to being hit as it has a longer nose and a big pen. Is. Wind turbines are the most dangerous kind of turbine and they kill at least 3 retarted people each year.
Thankyou for your time

Caithness Windfarm Information Forum lists 136 fatalities as of 2012, and states that this is not comprehensive, there are likely many more.
Wind proponent Paul Gipe records 43 deaths total as of 2009.
Im not sure on that exact spieces but I assure you if you are sad about the poor birdys, that the number should be very low. A wind turbine spins very slow, even in fast wind its programed to stay at a certain speed, so a bird would have to fly into a wing on the turbine, which they could see, and most birds aren't that stupid. =]

A lot of birds are killed by turbines. 19 vultures were killed in 1 week in Spain by 11 turbines. about 0
