Have you ever heard the unmistakable “thud” of a bird striking a window and rushed to its aid? Or perhaps you've come across a stunned bird on a city sidewalk? You're not alone. In the United States, as many as one billion birds lose their lives to window collisions annually.

The good news? There are effective ways to prevent these tragedies—from simple fixes at home to promoting bird-friendly policies in your area. American Bird Conservancy’s Kaitlyn Parkins will discuss the reasons behind bird-window collisions, the most effective strategies for preventing them, how bird-friendly materials are tested and rated, and ways to support initiatives for safer, bird-friendly building designs in your community.

Kaitlyn Parkins is the Glass Collisions Program Coordinator at American Bird Conservancy, where she works to reduce bird-window collisions through education, outreach, glass testing, and policy solutions.
