Completely agree with your points although I have found the stickers to not work as well... better to use netting made for deflecting birds. WildlifeLady – that is so sad.

I took a Rosebreasted Grosbeak to be euthenized today. It was injured from apparent head trauma. As a wildlife rehabilitator, I see this a lot. Many well meaning bird lovers hang feeders outside windows so they may observe the beauty and activity of birds. The problem with this is that the birds see the reflection of trees and sky in the window and fly toward it, resulting in head on collision with the window. Please, please, please - do not hang feeders in front of windows. If you insist on hanging feeders in front of windows, please do not wash the window and take other measures such as stickers ( lots of them) to reduce the reflection. Thankyou.
