How to Keep Birds from Flying into Your Windows


Impractical Solution: Stand in front of the window waving your arms about while reciting lines from Jonathan Livingston Seagull.
Practical Solution: Close your blinds during normal hours of flight.
Impractical Solution: Remove all windows.
Practical Solution: Place bird feeders within three feet of windows so that birds leaving the feeder cannot accelerate to deadly speeds should they fly into the window.
Impractical Solution: Tether a housecat to a ledge at each window.  NOTE: Tethering a housecat is likely not practical in any present application.
Practical Solution: Install decorative window awnings.
