Window collisions are one of the leading direct human causes of bird mortality. A 2014 study by the US Fish and Wildlife Service and the Smithsonian Institution estimated that between 365 million to one billion birds are killed annually by building collisions in the U.S.

Cities across North America are taking action to make their buildings bird-friendly, and the Bird Safe Building Act was recently reintroduced to the U.S. Congress.

The new Modern Bird Strike film, a key addition to the byDESIGN Decorative Film Series from Solar Gard, allows building owners and property managers to cost-effectively distinguish their glass to birds, preventing deadly collisions and promoting sustainability.
