See, what did I tell ya! LOL

I was thinking more like this stuff.

The guage doesn’t have to be all that heavy, and a basic two by four inch or smaller mesh would probably save a lot of birds.

Seems like a framework could be added to a blade system to stop birds just before they fly into the blades. The blade changes with wind direction, and the wire mesh shield moves with it.

A single blade from a turbine is 100 feet long. The turbines must be several feet apart. There can be miles and miles of land with turbines making fencing them in, impossible in reality. A restructuring/redesign looks feasible. And, expensive. Best to replace current designs with newer more efficient ones, and new fields with new designes.

Harnessing natural power has a way to go, yet.
