It's not only the number of birds but also the type. Significant numbers of predatory birds such as hawks and eagles are killed due to the nature of their hunting style (looking down with hawk/eagle-eyed focus).
This is similar to killing all the sharks. It has a massive ripple down effect on the food chain and ecosystem.
I'm not saying the wind turbines are the same as the killing of millions of sharks. It's an analogy
