Billions of birds collide with glass and perish every year in the US alone. Although bird-glass collisions impact many species (nearly a third of all bird species in the US have been known to collide with glass), evidence suggests that some birds are more prone to collisions.
According to data (
abcbirds.org/news/bird-species-that-collide-with-windows/,?utm_source=instagram&utm_medium=social&utm_content=ap_k0aa2hkqjc certain species are more commonly found as collision victims, termed “frequent-colliders” or “super-colliders.” Those species include the White-throated Sparrow, Ovenbird, and Dark-eyed Junco, to name a few.
Help prevent collisions and save birds:
• Support legislation in your area that requires the government to incorporate bird-friendly materials and designs for buildings
• Make your glass visible to birds by treating them with Feather Friendly visual markers and Bird Divert Clear UV markers
• Turn out lights at night, especially during migration season.
