Had it happen 3 times this week all 3 had head trauma leaking fluid. .....They see a tree reflection in the glass and think its a clear path...... Its heart breaking and im gona fix this.
My method is working just fine because I used BLACK para cord and it moves with the slightest of breeze.....I did some research, using para cord & stick on velcro , measure window width & length, cut the cords accordingly to measurements. Hang on the "outside" of the window from the top using the velcro.I anchored on the top ends and the middle. The slightest breeze will even make them move & looks pretty cool, the vertical hanging strips spaced 4 inches apart keeps birds from hitting the window, I had to do something because the birds hit my picture window with such force, they were breaking their necks.
I have solved this problem... easy, inexpensive and it works, that simple... I don't think having birds in a shipping container, with two exit options, is a very good "real life" example of what works and doesn't. I'm glad it's getting more and more attention and that professional analysis is being performed, but often the simple solutions are best. For home owners anyway.. the high rise structures are another thing altogether. Thank you for sharing! Look up "How To Stop Bird from Hitting Windows" on TH-cam... it's around 3 minutes long... :)
The noise they make should be enough to deter most birds once they've associated the danger, but a big part of the problem is windfarms are so incredibly huge that any bird that _drops in from above_ is surrounded by the noise (and danger) for miles all around. Regardless, it may be impossible to create such vast no-bird regions all over the country....so, it is a good question.
She is blowing on the bird's chest to move the feathers out of the way to check the amount of body fat. It is a common technique and often checked when catching birds for scientific study.
They softly blow the feathers to check for fat deposits as a measure of health. If you pause the video and look at the bird's breast, you can see a portion towards the throat/upper-breast that is a yellowish-cream color, which is fat beneath the skin. Seeing how much body fat a bird has can help indicate how healthy that individual is, what stage of migration it may be on, etc.
When I was 12 I took my dads old 4x4 on the backroads near where I lived by myself, goin' 30 down the dirt roads and *SLAM* a bird gone and slammed into my dad's windshield. I hit the breaks and got out and the bird was crying out cause it didnt go and die right away, it kind of flopped around on the ground trying to fly with just one wing but failing. I figured it was in all sorts of pain, and I got kind of sad so I stepped on its head. I hurd this little *crunch* kind of sound and it wouldnt stop flopping, but its mouth stayed open and woudnt close know, all stuff firm in the mud now, it still tried to flap its wings. So I got back in my dads truck and did the only think I could do for the bird and peeled out on that bird with my dads four wheel drive, hell yeah, I mudded right there, got his windows all wet grinding into that bird, and then I cut the engine and heard the bird warnt crying no more so I smiled to myself because I knowed I helped put a bird out of its misery, so I drove off and kept goin.
I don't think a billion birds is a lot considering there's like a few hundred billion birds on Earth. Still for the sake of science, I think it's a good thing to try to help the tiny critters from flying into their doom.
Natural selection has likely solved much this issue already, and will likely solve it completely at some point, so the question should be: are birds adapting fast enough? For some reason I've never heard anyone ask this question though.
No, they obviously cannot adapt fast enough when at least a BILLION die every year. In evolutionary terms, skyscrapers are a very new thing, heck, WINDOWS are a very new thing. We as humans, who are causing this unnatural problem, need to find ways to mitigate the damage we cause, especially to migrating birds, who have been migrating for eons.
Please keep talking about this. Spreading the word about window collisions needs to be talked about ALOT more.

Its like a suicide mission... Poor birdies 💔
KAMIKAZEE!
Time to change to linux
Or IOS? xD!

I'm not sure what you mean, but I'm not Spanish or Italian, and I'm not a hater of Spanish or Italian people.
Fascinating study. How can the knowledge gained from this study be used to prevent bird deaths that occur with windmill generators?
The noise they make should be enough to deter most birds once they've associated the danger, but a big part of the problem is windfarms are so incredibly huge that any bird that _drops in from above_ is surrounded by the noise (and danger) for miles all around.

this happened to me yesterday ;-;
Seen it happen in my old school
Pray for the bird specie
Can anybody explain what is going on at 2:27?

I have big windows on my second floor and yeah once in awhile they hit my windows and hop around with broken necks till they die.
Im in a 14 floor and ton of birds are all over my balcony and rooftop. Ive never seen dead birds on the ground floor
This would scare me
Thank you for your great work!
just use the smudge stick!
now lets also try to stop birds from getting sucked into airplanes
And windmills.
I know that I've witnessed such a terrible thing happen at least a dozen times.
A bird got into the air vents at work the other day. Poor thing
2:26 why are you doing that to the bird? How is that necessary for this kind of experiment?

@@Tab-cg2nv thx for the informative answer! I thought it was being dissected alive!!!
How about drawing lives in window with UV pen?
Ive never seen a bird crash on a window
youve probably heard it. it sounds like a tennis ball.
happens mostly on skyscrapers.
I am the only one feeling bad for those poor little birds being used for this kind of test?
I witnessed it many times i even pick up the poor dead birds ):

ILMAO!! You are fucked up but it was hilarious.
yo thats pretty messed up.
boring video but upvoted for LEED inclusion.
Poor birds so what they crash the windows there smart enough to stop doing that
Save 200 animals a year! Go vegan!
It’s the circle of life
Y'all are abusing the bird
Who cares? Seriously. I love nature I love animals. But I don't give a fuck about some stupid bird flying into a window.
We know, you hate hate hate it. You really would prefer it fly up that gay ass.

ur profile pic is a bird
