Ontario Nature Executive Director Helps Sparrow Recover

From Ontario Nature:

Watch our Executive Director, Andrés, help a sparrow recover after it accidentally flew into his treated window while escaping a Cooper’s hawk. Lending a hand to a stunned bird can be easier than you think and small actions like this really does make a difference.

Birds crash into windows because they can’t see glass, they see reflections of sky or vegetation and think they can fly through it. In Canada, 42 million birds die every year from window collisions on buildings large and small.

The good news? Sustainable building design and window treatments save lives! By adding visual markers on glass that birds can detect, we can prevent many collisions at homes and workplaces alike.
