falseknees:Hey pals! A bit of a different comic this week! I made this working with Bird Safe Guelph to help spread some information about birds and window collisions. - the issue: between 16 and 42 million birds die from fatal window collisions each year in Canada- the solution: retrofitting windows is an easy and effective solution to preventing bird deaths- the details: markings on windows should be on the outside of windows and no more than 5cm apart to be effective- take action: each person can save birds lives by retrofitting their windows at home- For folks in Guelph, Ontario @birdsafeguelph will be giving out free materials for transforming windows at home in the month of April, visit www.birdsafeguelph.ca for more info. And visit Flap Canada and Feather Friendly for more information on the topic! Americans can find more information on local city initiatives here.If you live in a city with tall buildings, see if your city has a Lights Out program! I am involved with my city’s Lights Out team and we are doing important work! We monitor downtown areas in the mornings for birds who have collided with windows. We rescue the live ones and take them to wildlife rehab, and we collect the deceased ones and take them to our local university for scientific research. And the data we collect goes to helping understand and mitigate the problem! -- source link
