Throughout the year, it sometimes happens that the birds in the garden run into our windows. What are the solutions to limit this accident?
0sharesIn the spring during the breeding season but also throughout the year, birds can sometimes collide with the windows and panes of our accommodation. How do I prevent this from happening again?
Why do birds throw themselves at our windows?
Two phenomena can explain this strange behavior: the mirror effect or the transparency effect. The first represents a reflection: the bird can see its own image in a window and imagine a rival. He can then hurt himself by bumping into his reflection. The second can take place when the bird thinks it sees a tree at our window, when it is only a reflection. At night, it also happens that the bird is disoriented by the artificial light present in our interior. He can then inadvertently move towards the window against which he risks colliding violently.Bird hitting a window: how to prevent an accident?
To limit accidents, there are a few solutions. The first is to attach stickers to your window to make the glass more visible to birds that might collide. Next, avoid placing a feeder near your window. This would multiply the appearance of birds near the windows and it can therefore increase the chances of having an accident. You can also put a sheet or a mosquito net on a temporary basis, if these events only occur during the breeding period in the spring, for example. A simple solution is to cover your windows with a more or less opaque curtain on a regular basis. READ ALSO:About the author
