Lessen the Chance of Window Strikes with a Window Bird Feeder

One of the top concerns for bird scientists is that songbirds and other wild birds can collide with windows, often leading to fatal injuries. These collisions are one of the top, man-made dangers threatening birds, but there are ways to lessen the chances of a bird striking the window.

One of the top suggestions is to install a window-mounted bird feeder. That’s because birds are usually slowing down for a landing as they approach a suction-cup feeder. Because they’re going slower, they can see the window before they come in contact with it, and avoid it. Then, when they go to take off from the feeder, they will simply fly in the opposite direction from the window.

Bird fatalities by window strikes are often the highest when a bird is going at top speed. So, having a bird feeder directly mounted to the window will help make sure they are not going top speed if they do happen to contact the glass.
