I'm not sure about the UK, but in 2007 there were about 100,000 birds killed by wind turbines
No, they do not.
this is apoem i heard at school in the 1950s
one day, there was a big strong. the wind blew down the tall tree in which the birds lived. the strong wind blew away the baby birds to the other side of the forest. one of them came down near a cave. the other bird landed outside a Rishi's ashram. in the way, the two baby birds got separated
Compared to the environmental impact of traditional energy sources, the environmental impact of wind power is relatively minor. Unlike fossil fuel power sources Wind power consumes no fuel, and emits no air pollution. The energy consumed to manufacture and transport the materials used to build a wind power plant is equal to the new energy produced by the plant within a few months. While a wind farm may cover a large area of land, many land uses such as agriculture are compatible, with only small areas of turbine foundations and infrastructure made unavailable for use.[2][3]There are reports of bird and bat mortality at wind turbines as there are around other artificial structures. The scale of the ecological impact may[4] or may not[5] be significant, depending on specific circumstances. Prevention and mitigation of wildlife fatalities, and protection of peat bogs,[6] affect the siting and operation of wind turbines.There are anecdotal reports of negative effects from noise on people who live very close to wind turbines. Peer-reviewed research has generally not supported these statements.[

noise and birds killed
yes they do.(;
No they don't. The birds can fly higher than the wind turbines and the turbines help create green power.
Disadvantages of wind power:The strength of the wind is not constant and it varies from zero to storm force. This means that wind turbines do not produce the same amount of electricity all the time. Luckily, wind energy isn't produced in isolation. It's added to widely connected energy grids with 24 hour spot energy markets. It's added to grids that span thousands of kilometres and have many types of generation and demand. Up to about 20% of a grid's generation capacity, it requires very little backup.Some people see large wind turbines as unsightly structures and not pleasant or interesting to look at. They believe that wind turbines degrade the landscape.Wind turbines generate noise. A subset of people who live near wind turbines find this noise annoying. A subset of those people get stressed by it. Wind turbine noise does not make people sick.Birds are killed by wind turbines. Studies show that wind turbines do not threaten the vast majority of bird species populations. Killing birds, in other words, does not threaten birds generally. That said, wind turbines should not be sited on raptor migration routes, as the Altamont wind turbine farm was. The best evidence is that song birds migrate at 2000-4000 feet, far above wind turbines and sea birds avoid them according to radar and thermal studies of North Sea wind farms.Bats are also killed by wind turbines, due to barotraumic stress (the reduced air pressure behind a wind turbine blade is damaging to bat's lungs and heart). However, bats are not killed in significant numbers compared to their populations by wind turbines. Bats are, however, killed in significant numbers in North America by white nose syndrome (300,000 in one cave alone.)
Yes. They are hazardous to birds, but the wind propels them.
None really.Wind turbines don't kill many birds. Modern wind turbine blades are very large and move quite slowly. It is easy for birds to avoid them.The noise from wind turbines (more of a hum) can only be heard by those close by and causes no more danger than the noise of traffic on a distant road.
100134444 wind turbines are in michigan.
Wind turbines are unsightly;Wind is not steady;Birds and bats are killed striking the blades of turbines;There is a large up-front investment;The return on investment is typically so long that subsidies are necessary to make instalation of turbines financially feasible;Wind turbines are prone to damage from storms.
wind turbines
Not many. There are some people who complain that the noise from spinning turbines is making them sick, but doctors have found no evidence of this. There is some evidence that bats and birds are injured or killed by the turbines, but again, there is conflicting evidence to say that flying creatures can and do easily avoid the blades.
there are 2757 wind turbines in great Britain
