How can I stop birds from flying into my windows? (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

I'm a very light sleeper, so I have blackout stickers on my bedroom window. (They're vinyl sheets that stick to the inside of the window with water.) I've used these most of my life with no issue. Well, I moved from the city and my new place is in a wooded area. I'm hearing birds and squirrels bonk into the window because they think it's a little cave or something. With the heatwave it's now multiple times a DAY. I opened my window today and there's actually a small pile of dead bodies on the ground. I feel awful.

Is there anything I could do to help these animals understand my window is a black wall and not a cave?

Second this - if you google anti-collision stickers this should do the trick. Alternatively you could also use some scotch tape (non-transparent) and tape a line across the outside of the window every 3-4 inches for a DIY fix.
