Scientists have estimated that US skyscrapers kill around 1 billion birds per year (https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2019/apr/07/how-many-birds-killed-by-skyscrapers-american-cities-report). This is a quite extraordinary carnage and there are, of course, a growing number of tall buildings in other parts of the world. I wonder whether planners ever consider migratory routes of birds when approving such developments?
