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 @birddivert 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 #wildlifeconservati...
