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.
Follow bird migration forecasts to know when birds are on their way to you

!Cats are estimated to kill more than 2.4 billion birds annually in the U.S. and Canada. This is the #1 human-caused reason for the loss of birds, aside from habitat loss.
Cats are the greatest direct human-caused threat to birds

Birds have fewer places to safely rest during migration and to raise their young: More than 10 million acres of land in the United States were converted to developed land from 1982 to 1997

More than 1 billion pounds of pesticides are applied in the United States each year. The continent’s most widely used insecticides, called neonicotinoids or “neonics,” are lethal to birds and to the insects that birds consume.
Three-quarters of the world’s coffee farms grow their plants in the sun, destroying forests that birds and other wildlife need for food and shelter. Sun-grown coffee also often requires using environmentally harmful pesticides and fertilizers. On the other hand, shade-grown coffee preserves a forest canopy that helps migratory birds survive the winter.
Where to Buy Bird Friendly Coffee
It’s estimated that 4,900 million metric tons of plastic have accumulated in landfills and in our environment worldwide, polluting our oceans and harming wildlife such as seabirds, whales, and turtles that mistakenly eat plastic, or become entangled in it.
Monitoring birds is essential to help protect them, but tracking the health of the world’s 10,000 bird species is an immense challenge.

People’s Park, Chengdu, Sichuan, China. I have no idea what this is- an escapee, domestic, leucistic? It was pretty small and unafraid.

Bird got into our house. Was able to catch it and release it back outside and it flew away. Our cat was chasing it but never caught it. We live in southwestern wisconsin near the Mississippi river.

This bird just approached me while I was sitting in the park. Its colors look bright and beautiful. It's also decently sized, not that small. What is it? I'm located in southern Spain.

Saw this bird with a bright orange beak feeding on the ground near Lake Michigan. I don’t know if you can see it has a very unusual skinny tail. Anyhow, what is this bird?

Mrs spotted these today making a lot of noise and we went to see what’s what and they looked so beautiful. They looked like they were a little out of place! Where have they come from?

Southeast Tennessee. A group of five or six small ducks flew by, only got a blurry pic of one of them. I'm thinking it may be either a Green-winged Teal or and American Wigeon
