That is the part I find the hardest to believe. Birds fly for a living,and it's hard to believe they don't/won't/can't avoid those big-ass spinning blades. I guess it is possible that the spinning blades create a vacuum that pulls them in if they get close enough,but it SEEMS to me that birds would just naturally avoid something that big that is moving.

I know I have accidentally hit birds on roads and highways going 40-60 mph. I am not an ornithologist, but flying is secondary, kind of like us walking, best guess  the birds are distracted by prey, or for whatever matter, and are not noticing their surroundings.

@Kamaji

Serious question. HOW do these things wear out? There are several "wind farms" around here,and those big-ass blades turn too slowly to get damaged by birds,and in case of big wind or something similar,they can be disengaged. Hell,for all I know,they can even be locked down so they don't move.

Sooo,WHAT is it that damages them and causes them to be replaced?
There are several factors. Propellers have a weak point where they join the hub. Working agaisnt gravity increases the stress and you get stress fractures. The second is sunlight. Fiberglass resins do not hold up well to constant exposure. Third. Dust and dirt in the air constantly abrade the surfaces, increasing the previous two. Basically it all comes down to stress.

What perverted 'nasty' old man.  I'm sure Biden, Epstein, and Weinstein, were very good friends. They are all the same.

BTW: Normally those dirty old men who act overtly sexually aggressive toward the women/girls they meet are compensating. They try too hard to give off a sexually bold demeanor to compensate for their inability to actually perform. I've seen it first hand many times.

[Out to lunch with a gray hair senior while in the military. He started aggressively hitting on the college age waitress. Worst of all, he was asking for her Facebook/Instagram name. I doubt this guy has even the slightest idea what "Instagram" is. I wanted to crawl under the table, so embarrassing. But he was seemingly serious and laughing his head off. The girl ran away and never came back, and so did I.]
This ios the same turd that used to swim buck naked in front of his female secret service detail.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

As for any bird that scavenges, there's plenty laying about to draw them in...

Like dead birds, for example.

If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.

The end of that blade is going 220 ft per second. Not faster than a speeding bullet, but getting into "muzzle velocity" for an arrow.
I would think the air current around the blade might be enough to do some damage, too.

@Smokin Joe

Yes,there IS that,and I had completely forgotten all about it. Thanks for reminding me.
