Every year, over one billion birds in North America collide with windows, many of them fatally.
Take the #BirdSafePledge and make your own personalized decals to make sure birds don’t fly into the windows of your meeting hall, school, community centre or home.
Make your decals as interesting and decorative as you want—and stick them on your windows. It helps the birds realize there is glass there!
