Still all those deaths. Not so solvered. Grin

"And so, in 2013, each of the four turbines in the test group had a single blade painted black. In the three years that followed, only six birds were found dead due to striking their turbine blades. By comparison, 18 bird deaths were recorded by the four control wind turbines—a 71.9-percent reduction in the annual fatality rate."

Wow. Such a large sample size. Grin

they haven't solved the problem off your stupidity and psychologists have been working on that far longer than they have preventing bird deaths from windmills
