Glass and bright lights? Deadly for birds.
Each year, millions of birds die in preventable window collisions and light confusion during migration.
But with a few simple changes, your home or office can help:
- Add decals or screens to large glass windows
- Move indoor plants away from glass
- Turn off non-essential lights, especially during migration seasons
- Advocate for bird-safe design in your community
Every window saved is a bird’s life spared.
