Sibley Guides Notebook: A Potential Simple Method for “Bird-Proofing” Windows:


I live in a house with lots of windows, and I like to keep lots of bird feeders. This is good for me as a birder, but often bad for the birds. Over the years I have tried various methods of making the windows either more visible or less harmful, but sometimes it just doesn’t help. Birds fly very fast and at times (for example, when startled by a predator) will try to fly through things they would normally avoid. Occasionally, Cooper’s and Red-tailed hawks seem to learn that they can pop around the corner of the house, cause a panic at the bird feeder, and then have easy pickings from under the window.

some wonderful ideas for how to avoid birds injuring themselves on your windows. We’re fairly lucky here, we rarely have one hit, but he has some useful techniques minimizing this threat.
