Why do Birds Fly into Glass Windows?
Collisions are most commonly caused by the reflective characteristics of glass. Because glass windows reflect the surrounding environment birds do not recognize it as a barrier. Birds see the reflected environment, such as trees and sky, and collide with the glass assuming it is a clear flight path. Any window, large or small can be a killer. CollidEscape is applied to the outside of a window to disrupt the reflection off the outside surface that birds perceive as a continuation of their environment.
Birds are frequently killed in these collisions or are stunned, only to die of internal injuries or fall victim to predators. Researchers estimate that up to one billion birds die as a result of window collisions every year in the United States alone.
CollidEscape offers several products to reduce and prevent bird strikes on windows. Our bird tape products reduce bird strikes up to 85%. Stop birds hitting windows!
