BIRDS AND BUILDINGS

Are your designs safe for birds?

 

 

The examples below are NOT.

 

Not every architect, builder and designer needs to pay attention to the problems causing birds to die at buildings.  There are some design styles that are inherently bird-safe. Review the examples below to see if you are part of the problem.

 

Special Note:  Just because no one has complained to you about dead birds at buildings you've designed or built does not mean no birds have been injured or killed. It just means has no one told you about it.

Birds will fly into these windows.

And above the tree reflections there is sky - equally deceptive..
