Window Bird Collision Prevention
8/14/2017 at 10:43 AM

We have a large picture window 15 feet off the ground that birds are always flying into and killing themselves. We average several deaths a week and probably many more injured. Is there any place in Brandon that sells and installs window products that prevent these collisions? We would need it installed as the window is high off the ground and about 6' x 7' large.

Is there a way to maybe hang one of those fake owls or mount something near the window that would scare the birds away?

Could you use suction cups (dollar store) to hang stained glass or something on your window to make it stand out?

Or buy window klings (they usually sell seasonal ones to decorate your window at Christmas, Easter etc) to stick to your window?

Def the best choice!we have the same problem and I find that having something dangling in front of the window (spiral twirly things) from dollarama or decals work best. I use best lol

This company sells decals that work great. They will mail them out if you call them. I've also seen them sold in Clear Lake in the Friends of RMNP building.
The Green Spot might have them too not sure

Pet Lovers Warehouse sells the window clings. Seen them with the wild bird feeders.
