I've been lead to believe that they also do considerably harmful to all living creatures, but most obviously birds and humans.

Yeah when you put a giant spinning fan blade in the sky birds tent to get the short straw on that. And because it damages the birds and they mostly put the wind farms near crop areas the bug population goes nuts so we then spray the crops to kill the bugs which results in less food for the birds which results in less birds so more bugs... which we then spray for.... you get the cycle

Don't forget the hundreds of acres of destroyed habitats they need to dig up for the foundations and cables.

All to power a city block.

They shut a wind farm down in California because of the impact to migratory birds. It turns out that windy areas also are used by birds to migrate.
