    What do you do if...

    a bird keeps flying into your closed bedroom window? Annoying.

    I'm surprised it's still alive.

      To answer your question, we have a tw0-story house with lots of windows and birds were dropping like flies. My wife ordered these things, from Amazon I believe, to stick on the windows and we haven't had much of a problem since.

        ^ What "things" are you referring to?

          Okay, Matt. A little research helped me see what you're talking about.

            She did order them from Amazon. They're called Window Cling. One of the best things about them is they adhere to the windows by static electricity and not by adhesive. If you want to remove them, they easily peel right off.

                No problem. If you go this route, I hope it solves the problem.

                  We have a coating on our windows that allow birds to see their reflection. The stick on things have helped a lot.

                    I got this from AI…

                    Birds often fly into windows because they see reflections of the sky or trees and don’t realize there’s a solid surface. Here are some ways to prevent this:

                    1. Make the Glass More Visible

                    • Apply decals or stickers: Place them no more than 2-4 inches apart.

                    • Use tempera paint or soap: Create patterns that birds can see.

                    • Install window film: One-way films can make glass appear opaque from the outside.


                    2. Reduce Reflections

                    • External screens or netting: These create a visible barrier.

                    • Hang wind chimes, strips of fabric, or sun catchers: Movement helps birds recognize a barrier.

                    • Close blinds or curtains: Reduces reflection from inside lighting.


                    3. Use Bird-Friendly Window Treatments

                    • FeatherGuard: A string with feathers that signals danger.

                    • CollidEscape film: Makes windows visible to birds but keeps your view.


                    4. Adjust Bird Feeders & Baths

                    • Move them closer (within 3 feet) or farther (over 30 feet) from windows: Birds flying short distances can’t gain speed to injure themselves.
