Project SkyWard
Did you know that one billion birds die each year in the US after colliding with windows?
This happens because birds cannot distinguish reflections from the actual sky or surrounding habitat. The good news is you can help prevent these tragic collisions and protect our feathered friends at home with simple, effective steps from Golden Eagle Audubon’s new bird window collision program, Project SkyWard - a science-based education initiative dedicated to saving birds from window strikes!
Prevent Bird Window Collisions
Have you ever heard the unmistakable “thud” of a bird striking a window and rushed to its aid? Or perhaps you've come across a stunned bird on a city sidewalk? You're not alone. In the United States, one billion birds lose their lives to window collisions each year. The good news is you can help prevent these tragic collisions and protect our feathered friends at home with simple, effective fixes and promoting bird-friendly policies in your area.
In this webinar, American Bird Conservancy’s Kaitlyn Parkins discusses the reasons behind bird-window collisions, the most effective strategies for preventing these incidents, how bird-friendly materials are tested and rated, and ways to support initiatives for safer, bird-friendly building designs in your community.
