25 million bird deaths annually in Canada due to window collisions, with 106 injured birds admitted since August in BC.

Window collisions are a major threat to migratory and resident birds, causing an estimated 25 million deaths annually in Canada. The Wildlife Rescue Association of BC reports an increase in window strike incidents as fall migration begins, admitting 106 injured birds since August. To protect these birds, individuals can close blinds, turn off lights, and use window decals. Promoting bird-friendly practices in workplaces can also help mitigate this issue.
