A recent field study from southeastern Brazil followed daily bird activity around campus buildings and uncovered a clear pattern: collision risk rises wherever large glass façades are situated in proximity to vegetation. The researchers documented species like the Rufous-bellied Thrush, Sayaca Tanager, Yellow-bellied Elaenia, Blue-black Grassquit, Rufous-collared Sparrow, and Masked Water-Tyrant, all moving quickly between trees, only to crash into glass after mistaking reflections or transparency for actual habitat. This is a familiar story for anyone working in bird-safe design, anywhere in the world. That’s why our work in 48 countries focuses on these exact environments. Feather Friendly visual markers bring clarity to high-risk glass for birds without affecting views for people. If you too want to keep buildings welcoming for humans, and navigable and survivable for the birds, act now! Read the complete study here: researchgate.net/publication/385516699_The_Influe...
