REGISTRATION REQUIRED AT https://mobilize.us/s/tJJqjNIt is estimated that over 1 billion birds die as a result of window collisions each year in North America with 99% of these occurring at residential and low-rise buildings. It is considered to be the third highest cause of bird mortality, following habitat loss and predation by domestic cats.
Up to 50% of bird-window collisions leave no evidence at all.
Many of the birds that fly away are likely to die later of their injuries.
Birds most often suffer concussions and internal injuries which can take days to K*ll them.
If a collision kills a parent bird, the young will most likely also die.
This is all preventable if people take action at their own homes.
