A land bird flew into my window so hard I was worried it died this morning. This happens once a month to my knowledge and I don’t spend long in my bedroom outside sleeping. Land birds aren’t smart outside of a few select species lol

    Put some stickers on your window

    That just gives them a target. They can't see the window. This is a real problem in some cities. AFAIK no one has found a real solution other than frosting the windows, but then humans can't see through the windows and get irritated.

    It's funny, I went to visit a place and the person who lived there was starting to get their life in order, so they cleaned the window. I knew this because while I was there I heard a THUD and there was a giant streak of bird shit trailing down the window from the impact point.

    Are you implying that helping birds avoid windows is an unsolved problem?

    Like what? It’s a bay window like any other, I have blackout curtains drawn across it most of the time so I can sleep past 6. I’m not putting any stickers or anything on it that the hoa will get pissy about

    What color are they? That could be a determining factor.

    Funny story, never hit a bird with my car in Quebec, until I drove into Manitoba, where I proceeded to wack 3 in 2 days.

    Birds seem to be stupid by region.

    You probably should drive less or get an electric bike.

    I agree, but not to go on a road trip to Manitoba :P

    I actually did the math, and for how loaded the car was and how many people we brought, it was both cheaper and more eco-friendly to take a car that gets 42 MPG on that road trip than take a plane to Winnipeg.
