How far can a bird fly without stopping? For a Bar-tailed Godwit, the answer is a staggering 10,000 km, and that too in just over a week, crossing the Pacific from Alaska to New Zealand without touching land. These incredible birds even sleep on the wing. In fact, one four-month-old bar-tailed godwit, tagged B6, set a world record – flying 13,560 km from Alaska to Tasmania in just 11 days and 1 hour, nonstop! But after crossing oceans, these long-distance fliers face an anthropogenic threat that they are not prepared to tackle – untreated glass. In the US alone, up to 1 billion birds die every year from window collisions, including many migratory species like the godwit. Feather Friendly visual markers and Bird Divert UV markers can help keep these extraordinary travellers safe, so their journeys don’t end at our windows. #birdsafe #glasscollision #featherfriendly #birdsafeglass #education #provensolution #conservation #birdconservation #birds #glass #savebirds #wildlifeconservat...
