Did you know that there are over 500 different species of birds that live in Massachusetts? It’s true; Massachusetts’ waterfront location and abundance of boreal forests makes it an ideal habitat for birds. And of these 500 species, approximately 300 are known to live or migrate through the Boston area.

But unfortunately, many of Boston’s birds are at risk. And it’s not only because the forests are shrinking. There are too many buildings and birds are flying into them.

In fact, glass collisions are among the leading causes of premature death for birds. Birds mistake windows as their natural habitat due to their reflective appearance. They fly into them without realizing what they’re doing and often die as result.

Fortunately, there are steps that can be taken to prevent these tragic incidences. In this article, we’ll discuss how to prevent birds from hitting windows in Boston with bird safety film.

How to Keep Birds Safe & Away from Windows

Bird strikes aren’t just a problem in Boston. They happen everywhere, in all big cities. In the United States, approximately one billion birds die each year from glass collisions.

It’s a serious issue and one that’s threatening to disrupt the natural world. Our ecosystem relies on birds to keep the earth clean and free of debris and promote natural life cycles. They control insect populations and help plants thrive by spreading pollen. Without birds, our world would be a very different place.

That’s why it’s so important to protect them. And one of the best ways that we can keep bird safe is by keeping them away from windows. But to do this, we need to make some changes to our buildings.

In order to prevent birds from flying into windows, we have to help them recognize that they’re there. One of the best ways to do this is by installing a bird safety film.

Bird safety films use decorative patterns, lines, and designs to break up reflections and make glass more visible to birds. They’re installed on the exterior of glass so that they’re placed directly in birds flight paths. Once in place, they act as a sort of warning sign to birds that tells them to fly around or away from the glass area.

Where to Get Bird Safety Film

Bird safety film can be purchased online or from any local window tinting contractor. However, we highly recommend buying them from a window tinting company. That way, a professional can install them correctly so that they’re aren’t any bumps or creases. This also helps them last longer too.
