ALT A comic. A cheerful Canada Warbler says "Hey, humans! Here's How To Stop Birds From Hitting Your Windows". In panel 2, the warbler says "A window collision is more than just a sad one-off event. Collisions kill billions of birds worldwide every year. It's not great." We see a silhouetted dead bird. Next panel: "Why do birds hit windows? The thing is... We don't really get windows. We only see a safe place past the glass." Gesturing at windows: "We see reflected outdoor plants, a reflected rival bird, or outdoor plants through transparent corner windows." In the next panel, the bird says "What can you do? There are cheap, easy, attractive fixes! 1) Create a visual barrier for birds to see, using window tape, string/ribbon, decals, window film. Note: put these on the outside, spaced 2in (5cm apart or less.) 2) Make window strikes less deadly. Keep bird feeders and baths close to windows (1.5 ft/0.5m away or closer.) Put screens on the outside of windows. To learn more, visit flap.org."
