Collisions with windows on building kill millions of birds in Ontario each year and represent one of the greatest human-caused sources of bird deaths. The main reason why birds fly into windows is because birds do not see the glass, or fail to understand that reflections on the glass are not real places where they can fly. There are proven, affordable solutions and ways to design new buildings that reduce the risk of bird-window collisions. Please incorporate bird-friendly building design requirements into the Ontario Building Code.
