Birds perishing due to clear glass is a prevetable tragedy. Installing glass decals in a grid pattern, like the ones from the brand Feather Friendly, can decrease bird window strikes upwards of 98%. (Yes, we're basically talking stickers!)
I'm fortrunate to know a lot of folks passionate about bird conservation. We petitioned a local university to mitigate their glass windows with bird-safe decals. If you're interested in signing our petition, you can do so here.Â
You can help what is within your control by starting at home! Countless birds can be saved by installing bird-safe decals on your windows.
Your choices as a consumer can support bird conservation! A simple way to start is brewing your own coffee. When you purchase coffee with the Smithsonian Bird Friendly certification, you're helping to protect birds on their wintering grounds. When trees are cut down in central & south American, it's impacting our shared migratory species.
