BIRD-COLLISION DETERRENT FILM

Bird Collisions with Glass Surfaces

Bird collisions with glass windows are a significant issue, causing millions of avian deaths annually. Birds often fail to recognize transparent or reflective glass as solid barriers, leading to fatal crashes. This guide explores bird deterrent window films as an effective solution, detailing their benefits and installation methods.

Why Birds Hit Windows:
Birds collide with windows because they cannot perceive glass as a barrier. Reflections of the sky or surrounding environment create an illusion of open space. Migration periods exacerbate this issue, as birds encounter unfamiliar territories. Indoor plants or bright lights can also attract birds, increasing collision risks. These impacts are often fatal, necessitating preventive measures like decals, screens, or films to make glass visible to birds.

How Do Bird Deterrent Window Films Work?
Bird deterrent films reduce the reflectivity of glass, disrupting the illusion of open space. They create visible patterns that birds recognize as barriers. These films significantly lower bird strikes, making environments safer for avian species.

Reflective Films: Modify glass reflectivity, reducing deception for birds while providing privacy.
Patterned Films: Include visible lines or dots to alert birds of a barrier.
Avery Dennison Skyway Bird Deterrent Film: Features a dotted pattern to reduce reflections and prevent collisions.
Fritted Films: Have permanent ceramic patterns baked into the surface.
Anti-Collision Bird Tape: An easy, affordable option creating visible grids on windows.
