The same people that want wind power are the same ones that want wind farm owners charged to killing birds.

Despite all the anecdotal stories of midair deaths, I contend that air travel is still the safest form of travel for birds. They are less likely to die in the air than driving home from the airport. Or something like that.

A bird shit on me once when I was walking in the field at my grandparents' farm with a shotgun.
It died in midair. Immediately. |

Going down to Lincoln from Omaha on I-80 one time on my bike doing about 75. A kamikaze blackbird hit me right in the chest and exploded. Scared the shit outta me. Didn't hurt though.

No, but they do break apart in mid air. Ask Frankie.

A duck went through the windshield of my grandparents' truck once and landed on the seat right between them. Obviously needed a new windshield, but they did have free duck for dinner. |

I hit a pheasant. Damn thing had a ditch and 160 acres to fly away. It decided to fly over the road.

I said rarely. I think as they get old and tired they usually either get eaten by something in its prime, or get too tired to take off that one last time.
Well, this sure is a down note to start my Wednesday. |

Birds are just government drones used to spy on us. Real birds can't fly anymore so the government saw their chance.
