” A new, translucent adhesive tape that tests show can significantly reduce bird collisions with glass windows and doors is now available to the public…Birds can’t see glass and don’t understand the architectural cues, such as window frames, mullions, and handles, that alert people to the hazard. Experts estimate that up to one billion birds may die each year from resulting collisions. “
