Why Do
Bird-Glass
Collisions
Happen?
Bird collisions with glass are one of the most significant human-related threats to birds. Over a billion birds die every year in the US alone after colliding with glass windows.
Birds don’t ‘see’ glass the way humans do. Clear and reflective glass can appear invisible to birds, or reflect sky, trees, and open space in ways that make it look safe to fly through.
As a result, birds cannot recognize it as a solid object and fly into it, often with fatal results. They either die on the spot or suffer serious internal injuries that result in death later.
The good news is that this is a problem with
proven solutions.
