DANGER ZONES:

1) Bird strikes often occur when birds perceive a LINE OF FLIGHT through one window of your home and out another. This also occurs on buildings with corners made of glass. In these situations, position your decals to block a bird’s perceived line of flight.

2) Bird strikes may occur when birds see OPEN SKY reflected in your window. This may occur on certain windows or areas of a window based on the time of day or orientation to the sun. Use your decals to break up this reflection of open sky.

3) Bird strikes are often a problem near BIRD FEEDERS. Bird feeders should be positioned closer than 3 feet or farther than 30 feet from your windows. Feeding birds are often frightened and when they are, they take wild, evasive flight. If your feeder is close to the window, birds fly away from the house. If they do happen to strike a window, they may not have reached full speed and may survive. Believe it or not, the safest feeders are window feeders which attach to the window itself. You may find such feeders on this website.

4) Bird strikes are a problem with highly-reflective windows, windows near bodies of water, and windows near indoor mirrors. These situations may be difficult to remedy.

TERRITORIAL BIRDS:

PROBLEM: Some highly territorial birds vigorously defend their territories and will even attack their own reflections in windows. They do this because they perceive their reflection to be an intruder.

When a bird repeatedly attacks a window, it puts its own health and energy at risk. This activity can compromise the success of its nest and its brood.

SOLUTION: CardinalAlert is a window decal designed to be placed along the bottom edge of problem windows, eliminating reflections form birds that mount their attack from a windowsill perch.
