Household cats kill more birds than all other unnatural causes combined (disregarding the poultry industry - we humans beat the cats if that's included). Seems unfair to complain about windmills and not cats (or ourselves).
I spend most of my holidays on an island with lots of inland windmills straight in a bird migratory route. I have yet to find the first bird carcass under any of those windmills.
A couple of hundred meter away from those is the sea dike. Birds use the wind sweeping over the dike to generate lift, or just rest on the dike. Lots of bird carcasses there, likely caused by aging and bird flu.
