Birds are intelligent and often curious about their surroundings. If you find a bird hitting your window or flying into your house, it’s likely something inside is attracting it.
Many homes and businesses have windows and eaves. Therefore, it’s not uncommon for a bird to fly onto your window, but if this happens frequently, you should consider addressing the issue.
This guide can help you understand why birds are attracted to windows and how to prevent it from happening again.
Why Birds Fly Into Windows
Birds have excellent eyesight, and flying insects or glowing objects in your home will attract their attention. They will then fly straight towards the insects to catch them
Because birds cannot see the transparent glass windows, they often crash directly into them during flight.
Bird activity increases in spring and summer, when windows act like mirrors, reflecting the image of birds landing on your eaves. Some birds may mistake these for other birds and perceive them as intruding on their territory. Consequently, they may peck at the window or attack their own reflection.
How to Stop Birds From Flying Into Windows
Since the glass in your windows is transparent, how can you prevent birds from landing on your eaves or hitting your windows?
Fortunately, I will tell you some ways to stop birds from flying onto your windows.
1.Many people enjoy watching birds but don’t want them near their windows. You can place a bird feeder in a tree in your yard, which will attract the birds to the food in the tree and keep them away from your window. Placing food, water, potted plants, and shiny items away from windows can help prevent birds from flying onto them by cutting off their food and water sources.
2.Birds don’t crash into walls because they can see them. Therefore, you need to make the transparent windows visible. You can use bird reflective tape, bird netting, or hang bird scare balloons on the windows (note: you need to attach these items to or mount them on the outside of the window), etc. Alternatively, you could replace the window with a non-reflective, opaque pane (however, this method is unwise and expensive).
3.You can use bird deterrent models like owl or eagle decoys to scare them away and prevent them from flying onto windows; this method is very common in commercial real estate. Birds will stay away because they fear their predators. In larger open or commercial spaces, 360° bird reflectors can also be used; the reflected light stimulates the birds’ eyes, preventing them from landing around the building.
Placing some clear plastic bird spikes around your eaves and windowsills is also a great idea; the modern look won’t detract from the beauty of your surroundings.
Windows are dangerous for birds. It’s estimated that billions of birds die each year from colliding with windows. If you want to protect birds and your property, it is essential to take steps to help them avoid these collisions.
