“Someone needs to check their math. There are about 525,000 minutes in a year, so a death every two minutes would be more than 262,000 a year, not 28,000. “

But the sun only shines during the day.

That’s still about 131,000 birds a year, not 28,000.

“But the sun only shines during the day.”

I’m not a bird expert, and don’t know their nocturnal habits - probably varies by species - but even if most are nest-bound at night, the figure would still be way off of the two-birds-a-minute figure.
