ReplyDeleteI think this nothing we can help because birds have a mind of there on and we can’t do anything about a window or building being there -christa medcalf
ReplyDeleteI didn't know that 998 million birds die due to window collisions. I think its due to the amount of buildings we have built because it's still nature none the less.
ReplyDeleteI didnt know that this was really a problem, but seeing the numbers of how many birds die is so crazy to me. I think it would be good to find a way to help redirect the birds so the numbers decrease. -Brylee

ReplyDelete988 million birds die a year. We need find a solution to keep birds safe.
One thing that cities can do is turn off the lights in tall downtown buildings at night so that birds aren't attracted to the light. -Jeffrey
ReplyDeleteI think more businesses should be aware of this problem so that they can make a change to reduce the amount of birds lost. -Ashley Herman
ReplyDeleteI think this is a weird issue since it's hard to fix. I think we could maybe make windows that are clear when you see them from inside the building but aren't when you look at them from the outside, like two sided mirrors.

ReplyDeleteits insane how many birds die, the windows need to be painted differently
ReplyDeleteWe need to make buildings that are safe for wild life ~Willie Gibbs
ReplyDeletei think that the windows should have something on them so the birds could see where they are, and that way there would be less birds dying.
