    A land bird flew into my window so hard I was worried it died this morning. This happens once a month to my knowledge and I don’t spend long in my bedroom outside sleeping. Land birds aren’t smart outside of a few select species lol

      In all seriousness that’s more of a sensory limitation than an intelligence limitation. IIRC birds’ eyes work differently from mammals and they can’t see glass pretty much at all.

      Put some stickers on your window

        That just gives them a target. They can’t see the window. This is a real problem in some cities. AFAIK no one has found a real solution other than frosting the windows, but then humans can’t see through the windows and get irritated.

          SOLYX film claims to reduce bird strikes by 90%.

          It’s funny, I went to visit a place and the person who lived there was starting to get their life in order, so they cleaned the window. I knew this because while I was there I heard a THUD and there was a giant streak of bird shit trailing down the window from the impact point.

          Are you implying that helping birds avoid windows is an unsolved problem?

            Yes. The only “solution” that we’ve found is to make the window with a “frosting effect,” which humans don’t like because we can’t see through that.

        Like what? It’s a bay window like any other, I have blackout curtains drawn across it most of the time so I can sleep past 6. I’m not putting any stickers or anything on it that the hoa will get pissy about

          I’d discuss options with the HOA, but you do you.

          What color are they? That could be a determining factor.

              Try a darker color, beige may be a bit too light. I dont know what is with birds a beige but it tends to cause some weird shit.

      Funny story, never hit a bird with my car in Quebec, until I drove into Manitoba, where I proceeded to wack 3 in 2 days.

      Birds seem to be stupid by region.

        You probably should drive less or get an electric bike.

          I agree, but not to go on a road trip to Manitoba :P

          I actually did the math, and for how loaded the car was and how many people we brought, it was both cheaper and more eco-friendly to take a car that gets 42 MPG on that road trip than take a plane to Winnipeg.

        Possibly, I didn’t see a corpse in my garden so I’m guessing it lives

      That’s less them being stupid and more their eyes are on the side of their head so they can’t see directly in front of them.
