Story here

In France, an energy company has invented a device which looks like a tree with leaves, but is really a small tower of turbines.

1. That's neat

I could plant one of those in my front yard.

2. Won't it attract birds???

I am concerned about the huge number of birds reported killed by turbines.

3. It's only 3 meters tall. And uses micro turbines.

If that were in my backyard, the birds would more likely die from neighborhood cats and other predators.
