There's also a proposal to build a 200-turbine wind farm on King Island in
Bass Strait, the largest wind farm in the Southern Hemisphere.

There's a proposal to build a wind farm at Robbins Island, which is the
largest habitat for migratory waders in Tasmania.  It's on the migratory
route for Orange-bellied Parrots, and the only site in Tasmania where a
number of migratory waders are regularly found.

Yes, wind turbines do kill birds but nowhere near as many as other human
structures and activities. Obviously they need careful placement to avoid
bird "highways" but on balance I believe they are good things
