How do I keep birds from crashing into windows?

How can I stop birds flying into my windows?

The RSPB: Advice: Frequently asked questions
You can fix something to the outside of your windows to stop birds from flying into them. Birds fly into windows because the reflections confuse them. Some see the reflection of trees and the sky and don't realise it is glass. By fixing something to the window you will reduce the reflection and birds are less likely to be confused. Plastic stickers work well - RSPB reserve shops sell stickers in the shape of bird silhouettes, which are ideal.

Why do birds sometimes attack my windows?

The RSPB: Advice: Frequently asked questions
Some highly territorial birds will attack windows, car external driving mirrors, hub-caps and other reflective surfaces. They can see their own reflection on the surface, and thinking it is an intruding male, will try to attack it to defend its territory. This behaviour is particularly prominent during the breeding season, but can also happen at other times of the year, particularly by birds such as robins and grey wagtails who hold winter territories.

What can I do about birds flying into my windows?

Toronto Wildlife Centre - FAQ
Some birds migrate during the day, and some migrate at night. The ones who migrate in daylight often hit windows because the glass reflects the trees and sky, making the glass itself essentially invisible to flying birds. The solution has to do with reducing the reflection on the outside of the window. Toronto Wildlife Centre works closely with FLAP (Fatal Light Awareness Program), an organisation specifically dedicated to solving these types of issues.

Know which birds breed in your area in order to create a backyard habitat attractive to them. Just as with people, birds have different preferences about where and what they eat, as well as where they nest. Nest boxes, for example, are a good thing, but not all birds are what are called "cavity nesters." So it's important to plant trees and shrubs to attract nest building birds to them.

How do I prevent people from using Windows "common dialogs" as little Explorer windows?

Bardon Data Systems: WinU FAQ
Most Windows programs use the standard Windows "common dialogs" to open or save files. Presenting the same dialogs in all programs means that the user does the same thing in the same way in all programs. This is good. However, by default these Open and Save dialogs let the user right-click on any displayed file or program and change its attributes, or even run it. They also let the user delete selectd files with the Delete key. This is bad.

Do you wash birds as soon as you get them?

IBRRC: Frequently asked questions
No! Oiled birds often suffer from hypo or hyperthermia. Many haven't eaten in days and are often dehydrated and exhausted by the time we capture them. They must be stabilized before attempting cleaning. Stabilized birds have a much higher survival rate than birds that are not stabilized prior to being washed. A bird can safely be held as much as 5 days before being cleaned.
