Countless millions of birds die annually across North America when they hit windows. They may collide with tall glass towers or with windows in our homes. This is a preventable tragedy. The Fatal Light Awareness Program (FLAP) has an abundance of ideas which both home and business owners can implement to help decrease the very sad toll on our birds which are already facing a number of other problems too (habitat loss being another biggie). Here, the Fletcher garden has placed some film on their windows that breaks up the reflection and at the same time is almost invisible when you view it from inside. In other words, you can see out as if there is no tape on the window but on the other side, it deters birds from thinking they can fly through the glass.
