 Bird Collision Solutions for Your Business

What are the most dangerous buildings for birds?

Buildings that have both extensive glass and attractive habitat are the most dangerous for birds. Other features such as skyways or passageways, mirroring and bright lighting can cause problems. 

Designers and architects who are aware of these hazards, can use creative techniques and materials to reduce or eliminate collisions. These choices are best incorporated into the original design of a building. Retrofitting a building that proves to be a problem to birds, is more difficult.

Audubon encourages every community to take actions that benefit both birds and people.

A “Bird Friendly Building Design” pamphlet by The American Bird Conservancy, assists developers, architects, building owners, regulators and anyone else looking for detailed information on the collisions issue and designing structures to minimize bird deaths. You can download a free pdf.
