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, as many as 1 billion birds lose their lives to window collisions annually. The good news? There are effective ways to prevent these tragedies—from simple fixes at home to promoting bird-friendly policies in your area. In this webinar, American Bird Conservancy's Kaitlyn Parkins will discuss 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.

Kaitlyn Parkins is the Glass Collisions Program Coordinator at American Bird Conservancy, where she works to reduce bird-window collisions through education, outreach, glass testing, and policy solutions.

Join us for this informative program. It is free and the public is welcomed!
