Bird Collisions

More birds are killed each year by striking windows than by any other direct cause—up to one billion birds annually in the U.S. Birds don’t recognize glass; reflections of the sky, trees, or indoor plants trick them into thinking the space is safe. Even birds that fly away can later die from blunt-force injuries.

 How You Can Help:

 Install bird-safe glass, screens, or netting several inches in front of windows.

Use tape or patterned films to break up reflections.

Apply non-toxic tempera paint in patterns or stencils.

Place bird feeders within three feet of windows to prevent high-speed collisions.

Move indoor plants and position trees or shrubs away from windows.

Small changes can save countless birds each year and create a safer environment for the wildlife around your home. Come on in and ask us about protecting birds at your windows!
