Dear god they even have a horrible name for the birds that have it happen to them. What in their right mind thought calling them "streamers" would be a good idea?

It's a descriptive name more than anything, I imagine that all that is left of them is a streamer of smoke nosediving into the deck.

The Atlantians would be proud.

Great, so if the birds manage to dodge the spinning blades of all those windmills they've been putting up they can get incinerated by solar panels.
