Bird Window Collisions: Solutions for Homes and Buildings
·OnlineOnlineOnline only. See below to obtain link.
Bird populations are experiencing staggering declines, and window collisions are now recognized as the third leading human-related cause of bird mortality. Each year, an estimated 1 billion birds die after striking glass in the United States alone. This presentation explains why collisions happen, when and where risk is highest, and why ordinary homes play such a large role, with roughly half of all collisions occurring at residential sized buildings. Participants will learn how reflections and artificial light confuse birds, how to identify risky windows around their own homes, and the simple, science-backed solutions that can dramatically reduce collisions and make everyday living spaces safer for birds.
