In August, we began installing window films on problematic windows at the homes of our volunteers. These volunteers spent the past year collecting data on where birds strike windows at their home. Using this data, we determined which windows were problematic for bird collisions and offered some treatments that could be installed on the windows. The volunteer chose which films they wanted and we helped them install it on their windows.
Carol Azar has been collecting bird-window collision data for us for over a year, and this summer finally got her windows retrofitted with films. She chose Acopian Birdsavers, that are made of paracord instead of a plastic film. They hang freely in front of the problem window (see below). Acopian Birdsavers were designed by Jeff Acopian, more information can be found at their website here.
Contact us with more information on how to get films like these on YOUR home, or check out our “Why birds hit windows” page for more information on window collisions and treatment options.
