To confirm - are you asking how to protect birds from running into windows? 

[Melissa Groo]

Thanks for that Miki--I think you are wanting to know how we can each help make our windows safe for birds? There are so many different methods we can use to show birds there is a glass surface there.

American Bird Conservancy is really the leader in this--some of the products they recommend are at this link:

Acopian Bird Savers is particularly effective.

It's a wonderful way we can each contribute to the conservation of birds. Every year almost one billion birds collide with glass in the US! Most of these happen at homes and buildings shorter than 4 stories tall.

Audubon also has a good list of resources here:

Thanks for caring, Miki! And for your question.
