Gregory's Server@rjt @Sheril I'm quite surprised that cats kill more birds than tall buildings. But when I looked up building related deaths the estimate was up to 1billion, so quite a broad range. Given how many people have housecats in the US, how are they killing all these birds? Does the US have poor animal welfare. So cats aren't neutered, run feral & breed (the UK has the RSPCA for example)? The windfarms point def rings true though.Those quoting bird related deaths dont really give a f**k about birds.1/2
@rjt @Sheril got curious as to what % of the bird population is actually killed by windfarms as this would provide a more comparible figure to other causes of death (namely man made climate change which causes far more bird deaths than windfarms)
