Bird friendly glass for buildings and zoos
THE FACTS
Over 100 million bird deaths annually
Reflective, transparent materials cause hazardous collisions
Birds attempt to reach shelter, food and migratory paths reflected in glass
“The wide variety of native birds that thrive in urban areas underscores the importance of these artificial habitats to the survival of many bird populations. Creating green-space in urban environments, landscaping with native plants in backyards and parks, adopting architecture and lighting systems that reduce collisions, and keeping pets indoors will provide the greatest benefit to breeding birds and migrants seeking safe places to rest and find food during their spectacular journeys.”
