Did you read the article? It contains numbers for the amounts of birds killed by turbines. To be clear: the article does not say no birds are killed. The number just is not very relevant as compared to other dangers, such as buildings, power lines and, most importantly, cats. 4,000 birds are killed by pet cats for every bird killed by a turbine.

Yeah people in the comments are talking about wind turbines killing birds being a hoax though. It definitely isn’t.
Another important distinction is that wind turbines disproportionately kill raptors like eagles, which are not threatened by cats.
