Protect Birds This Fall with Our Bird Safety Window Films
Fall Migration is here, and with it comes an unfortunate increase in birds striking windows. At DFW Window Film, we take bird safety seriously. Our collection of Bird Safety Films are designed to prevent birds from flying into reflective glass, helping to protect our feathered friends during their long journeys.
All six of our bird safety films have been tested to meet the prescriptive standard for bird strike prevention and are approved by the American Bird Conservancy as some of the most effective bird strike prevention window films on the market. They offer a simple and effective solution to reducing window collisions.
What is the prescriptive standard?
The prescriptive standard requires a visible pattern of 1/4” or larger, spaced no more than 2”x4”, applied to the exterior surface of a window for birds to see it. This pattern significantly decreases the likelihood of collisions.
Do decals work?
Unfortunately, most decals fail to meet this standard. To be effective, decals must be spaced no more than 2”-4” apart and cover the entire pane of glass. Window films, like ours, are a more efficient solution, meeting the standard in a single, easy-to-apply sheet.
Why do birds hit glass?
Birds simply cannot see glass. Collisions occur due to:
- Transmission: Birds see through the glass.
- Reflection: Birds see the environment behind them reflected in the glass.
- Artificial lighting at night: Night-migrating birds are drawn to light.
What can you do to help?
- Install window films that meet the prescriptive standard.
- Turn off unnecessary lights at night.
- Spread the word about our Bird Safety Film.
