Bird Safe Windows
Though we enjoy windows as a luxury and a beautiful addition to any home, there are problems that come with them. One of the most unfortunate issues that a homeowner may experience due to their windows is a bird collision. This is not only startling but a solemn event. Birds usually hit windows because the reflection of the sky on the window causes them to mistake it for open air. Sometimes the bird is fine and flies away after hitting, but other times that is not the case. Luckily, there are both indoor and outdoor solutions a homeowner can implement to prevent these collisions.
Avoiding Bird Window Collisions
Some of the more common options for changing the outside of the window are tape strips, a taught net, external awnings, decals, and wind chimes. All of these solutions decorate the window in some way that helps make it visible for the birds. Here are some ways to change the inside of a window: vertical blinds that are at least halfway closed, curtains, turning lights off at night.
