While human beings have found various solutions to generate renewable energy, with wind turbines being one of them, we have forgotten their effects on wildlife. Researchers have detected strange behaviours in birds around wind turbines; however, the truth of the matter is that thousands of birds are dying because of wind turbine collisions. In a report by Euronews, experts in avian vision claim that stripy wind turbines could lower the number of seabird deaths. By doing so, birds can easily identify the turbines, and it can drastically reduce fatal accidents and impacts on these species.
The birds’ ability to quickly change their flight route when they identify these stripped wind turbines is the “strange behaviour” and it is not negative at all. Instead of the birds flying directly into the turbines, they can change their direction. Wind turbines are big, strong and powerful and usually spin with a lot of energy,…
