Bird-friendly film installed at Odum School of Ecology

With the support from UGA’s Campus Sustainability Grant, we were able to retrofit 16 windows on the Odum School of Ecology building with films that prevent bird-window collisions. Films with a 2x2” dot pattern were applied to windows bordering the seminar room, and tinted film was applied to a tall computer lab window where bird strikes have been observed in the past. The dot pattern helps birds perceive windows as a barrier to flight, preventing mid-flight collisions. The tinted film reduces reflectivity of the glass, so it prevents both mid-flight and territorial bird strikes.

Check out the windows if you're on campus!
