It's odd to think no one has come up with a way to repel birds. It would be interesting to see all the things they've tried.

Some work has been done. I seem to recall that painting the turbine blades to create a visible flicker helped keep birds away. I am sure some studies are ongoing. The number of birds killed by windfarms is miniscule compared to the number that die simply from flying into windows on skyscrapers, however.

Yeah, that's one approach. Far more often, airports just shoot them.
