Incredibly simple tip to prevent birds flying into window

Please share this with a birdlover you know. It is often said that between 100 million and a billion birds die in the US each year after striking windows , in the UK the British Trust for Ornithology estimated a few years ago that 100 million birds hit windows each year.
I have tried all the usual ways of trying to stop the birds hitting the windows including sticking hawk shapes in the window, which just don't work. Eventually I came up with this really cheap and simple solution. Please share this with someone you know who loves birds. Alex
The gap is probably less than 4" , probably 3 " and the pen I used is like this (but any white "write on glass" pen will do). Make sure it is white as I think part of the reason it works is by triggering bird's fear of flying into cobwebs.

@Random A All the latin american folks will probably understand this: sadly we don't need to draw lines because we live in cages with bars on doors and windows, so it's very unprovable that a bird fly and crash into the glass. If there's a day in the future in which I can live free without fear, so without bars, of course I'll paint all of my windows if needed for them not to be hurt💛

Its been close to 3 week and not one single bird has gotten hurt again ❤ Thank you for the tip!!!

@2qlrn273
@2qlrn273 2 года назад
The sun moves in the sky, and the changing angle of light means that reflections come and go different times of the day, as well as different seasons of the year. The markings cannot be seen nearly as well when there is reflection from the glass. So you may find that with time, there will be some collisions with the markings on the inside only.

The entire front of my house is All Glass . 5 sets of sliding doors 10 feet wide each. They have E glass which almost like a mirror type effect especially because I face North . I've had quite a few Birds over the years commit suicide on my glass doors. As a matter of fact just last week I heard a big bang I went out it was a kingfisher laying there. After a few minutes it picked its head up and I thought it was going to be all right the way most of them are but he tried to get up a few times and he put his head down and passed away . I felt bad. Over the years I had two separate red tail hawks do the same thing and the Crash was so loud I was shocked that they didn't break the glass . A red tail hawk is a big bird . Kind of fun living here in the middle of 40 acres of mostly open land with a 17 Mile View, 360 degrees. Everything you can imagine deer, turkeys, bald eagles, black bear, bobcat, coyote ,small game, etc. you name it and it's here. Take care. T

Great tip . Perhaps the makers of windows should be taking the birds welfare more into consideration , and be designing windows that prevent this happening . I was at a golf club recently for my patents 80 th birthday , and a bird was stunned after flying into a window . My sister who is a vet but was here on holidays had to take it to the local vet clinic in the end . Places such as that , buildings with large windows , which is popular these days , really ought to be held responsible for protecting the wildlife’s well being , in this day and age . It’s not really good enough is it , just accepting this hazard for poor birds , as ‘ the norm ‘
@judeangione3732
@judeangione3732 4 года назад
It isn't the windows themselves that are the problem. It's the location and size and whether you're on a flight path and what is reflected in the windows. I've only had a problem with birds flying into my windows at one specific house and that was when I was on a hill and the windows reflected sky much of the day. It happened mostly on the south side of the house. The window just looked like sky. We eventually put black bird decals on the window. I don't think window manufacturers could take all that into account.
@killa46464
@killa46464 4 года назад
Jude Angione . Thanks for your reply and information. More research and Education for people to understand the wildlife habits for all the creatures we share our space with would be ideal . If town planning took that sort of information into account .that would be good . And certain types of windows for problem spots , perhaps non reflective windows that appear black on the outside or something . I think the lack of care for the wildlife is serious . With the knowledge out there I can’t believe the level of densely housed developments that are spreading here where I live in Australia . It’s sad to see . I just read yesterday , an ABC report saying that Research in America and Europe is saying that The loss of bird numbers in particular, is happening at an alarming rate . I think it was 2.9 million less birds in the US since 1988 (?) don’t quote me . I’ll add the link 👍The whole ecological system is breaking down . A much larger problem than windows . But I always like contemplating possible ideas . Unfortunately I’m not in a position to affect great changes myself . I wish I’d studied environmental science and was more involved . But I have a chronic health condition which means my daily life is pretty much a challenge to navigate . 30 yrs ago I saw problems coming and when more people seemed to be into studying the environmental issues I thought that knowledge and skill would be utilised in town planning . But the way that the houses are going up , without any room for trees or garden , brick wall to brick wall , it’s devastating for the wildlife population. And ultimately the human population too . It’s not looking good is it . www.abc.net.au/news/science/2019-09-20/birds-collapse-us-bees-ecology-environment/11520008
