Such a cool idea!! 😍

Billions of birds die from window collisions. Birds don't see glass, they see what's reflected, like the sky, which seems a safe place. Also, light from windows disorientates birds and causes collisions. What can we do? Find out and learn great strategies: allaboutbirds.org/news/why-birds…
