Birds collide with glass because they see the world differently than people do. These collisions kill up to 1 billion birds each year in the United States. Learn more about this conservation crisis from the American Bird Conservancy.
Every year, billions of birds migrate north in the spring and south in the fall, the majority of them flying at night, navigating with the night sky. However, as they pass over big cities on their way, they can become disoriented by bright artificial lights and skyglow, often causing them to collide with buildings or windows.
