Meta Help Stop Window Collisions

29 Upvotes

Around 1 billion birds (United States) and 25 million birds (Canada) die every year by flying into glass windows. This includes windows at all levels from low level houses to high rise buildings.

Window collisions are one of the largest threats to bird populations. However, there are several ways you can help reduce window fatality. Below are some links with steps on how to make your house bird friendly, either DIY or through reputable companies such as the American Bird Conservancy.

I don't exactly recall the head shape unfortunately, but I did my best approximation. Also the more I think about it, the less certain I am about the length of the legs, so maybe don't take that into account as much? Idk, hopefully this is still detailed enough to ID from!

What is this bird? This bird type is everywhere at our place and builds nests year after year. We leave them alone, and when we get too close or move too much around their nest, they let us know. Any info is appreciated...

Saw this bird circling and following a red kite today - I’m guessing it’s a bird of prey but which one?! Seems just over half the size, much darker, with a wedge tail and white-tipped wings (different to the white stripe on the red kite)

I found this in South West England [dunno If I have to specify more I'm new on this lol,] but it was found in a field which was actually the same field I found a pheasant tail feather in [pretty sure] so I'm curious if it's a pheasant feather as most ones I've seen on Google haven't shown the same pattern and shape

The feathers look like a Moorhen, but the face looks like a Sora. It didn’t move like a Moorhen to me. It kept making a screechy noise.
