Bird kills [RE-wrenches]

[wes kennedy]

Hi All,

I agree heartily with keeping these things in perspective and promoting the greater good.

Ironically, the only dead bird I've seen was at the base of the prototype Bergey 50kw machine at their plant in Norman oklahoma. A little sparrow.
Not 10 minutes after this very discussion at the dealer workshop last spring......

Wind Wrenches only,
I haven't had a wind machine since 1978, but more birds bounced off my mountain home picture window than ever landed on my tower. I never met a person who actually saw a dead bird at the base of a wind machine. How many dead birds at the base of wind machines have you guys actually seen? Where? What species?
Best regards,
Joel Davidson

Windows in downtown Toronto kill more birds than all of the windgens in N. America. Here at my home, since the tower has been up, my windows have killed 2 birds and zero for the tower/wind gen.
