Estimates are that a billion birds die this way in North America each year
Estimates are that a billion birds die in North America each year in this unnecessary and preventable way.
Randall said her passion project is to prevent birds striking windows and she started on it a couple of years ago with UNBC’s Kathy Lewis, forest pathologist/microbial ecologist, and Russ Dawson, Randall’s advisor. There’s at least 200 birds a year that are killed when they hit a window on the UNBC campus, she added.To gain some perspective Randall said she had done some research and discovered there’s at least 30,000 households in Prince George and an educated guess sees about 5,000 other buildings in the city.
According to the Feather Friendly website it’s 95 per cent effective but Randall said on the section of the university’s windows they’ve applied it to there has been a 100 per cent reduction of birds hitting the window.
