You Can Lead a Bird to Food

You might recall a glass cleaner commercial involving two birds. The birds, bitter from flying into spotless glass windows, seek revenge on a tidy homeowner. Despite the humor, our feathered friends do call attention to a critical issue. Nearly 100 million birds are expected to die each year after colliding with glass windows on homes and businesses. Windows reflect natural surroundings, which make them undetectable to flying birds. To avoid these collisions, think about where you place your bird feeders. Steer clear of any doors or windows and place feeders near trees and shrubs. But keep cleaning those windows.
