I've heard the "killing birds" arguments and I don't know how true it is. There have been conflicting reports. In my mind, perhaps we should do something about that problem, noise, paint them differently, maybe make them large scarecrows. Who knows, but something other than no windmills.
I don't buy the "killing birds" argument. The blades turn quite slowly so birds can easily avoid them in flight.
