Advises planners, architects, builders, and homeowners on how to reduce bird collisions and incorporate sustainable, bird-friendly practices.
Goals include increasing visibility of glass on appropriate “buildings, walkways, bus shelters, balconies, guardrails and patios,” and reduce deadly reflections.
Use visual markers “placed no more than 10 cm - approximately a hand’s width - apart.” And ensure that horizontal spacing “is a minimum of 3 cm wide spaced at a maximum of 3 cm, or a minimum of 5 mm wide spaced at a maximum of 5 cm apart.”
Additional solutions include window mullions, glass dampening, reduced attractants, like greenery and minimizing light pollution.
