You're Kidding Right?

I just read a story where New York skyscrapers will turn off their lights above the 40th floor so migrating birds won't hit them.... HUH?

They said that the birds are attracted to the lights in the buildings like moths to a flame.

Excuse me, but wouldn't the chance of hitting the building increase if they couldn't see the freakin thing because it is dark?

And, I am not sure what the migrating altitude of a bird is, but I assume that it is below 400 feet.

And how fast does a bird have to get going before they can't avoid a 100 story building?
(What is the air speed velocity of a sparrow?... Python)
